A highly critical event in a virus's life cycle is successfully entering a given host. This process begins when a viral glycoprotein interacts with a target cell receptor, which provides the molecular basis for target virus-host cell interactions for...
Viruses of microbes are ubiquitous biological entities that reprogram their hosts' metabolisms during infection in order to produce viral progeny, impacting the ecology and evolution of microbiomes with broad implications for human and environmental ...

Current studies have demonstrated that microbe-host interactions (MHIs) play important roles in human public health. Therefore, identifying the interactions between microbes and hosts is beneficial to understanding the role of the microbiome and thei...
Identifying phage-host interactions (PHIs) is a crucial step in developing phage therapy, which is the promising solution to addressing the issue of antibiotic resistance in superbugs. However, the lifestyle of phages, which strongly depends on their...
Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a zoonotic pathogen, re-emerged in 2022 with the Clade IIb variant, raising global health concerns due to its unprecedented spread in non-endemic regions. Recent studies have shown that Clade IIb (2022 MPXV) is marked by uniqu...
The goal of this research work is to predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between the Ebola virus and the host who is at risk of infection. Since there are very limited databases available on the Ebola virus; we have prepared a comprehensive d...
BACKGROUND: There is a new framework from the United States government for screening synthetic nucleic acids. Beginning in October of 2026, it calls for the screening of sequences 50 nucleotides or greater in length that are known to contribute to pa...

BACKGROUND: Diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms pose a persistent global health challenge. Pathogens exploit host mechanisms through intricate molecular interactions. Understanding these host-pathogen interactions (HPIs), particularly protei...
Viral codon fitness (VCF) of the host and the VCF shifting has seldom been studied under quantitative measurements, although they could be concepts vital to understand pathogen epidemiology. This study demonstrates that the relative synonymous codon ...
