Microbiome Preprocessing Machine Learning Pipeline.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: 16S sequencing results are often used for Machine Learning (ML) tasks. 16S gene sequences are represented as feature counts, which are associated with taxonomic representation. Raw feature counts may not be the optimal representation for ...

Predicting direct and indirect non-target impacts of biocontrol agents using machine-learning approaches.

PloS one
Biological pest control (i.e. 'biocontrol') agents can have direct and indirect non-target impacts, and predicting these effects (especially indirect impacts) remains a central challenge in biocontrol risk assessment. The analysis of ecological netwo...

SPASOS 1.1: a program for the inference of ancestral shape ontogenies.

Cladistics : the international journal of the Willi Hennig Society
We recently published a method to infer ancestral landmark-based shape ontogenies that takes into account the possible existence of changes in developmental timing. Here we describe SPASOS, a software to perform that analysis. SPASOS is an open-sourc...

Predicting the animal hosts of coronaviruses from compositional biases of spike protein and whole genome sequences through machine learning.

PLoS pathogens
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the serious potential for novel zoonotic coronaviruses to emerge and cause major outbreaks. The immediate animal origin of the causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, remains unknown, a notoriously challenging task for eme...

An approach using ddRADseq and machine learning for understanding speciation in Antarctic Antarctophilinidae gastropods.

Scientific reports
Sampling impediments and paucity of suitable material for molecular analyses have precluded the study of speciation and radiation of deep-sea species in Antarctica. We analyzed barcodes together with genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms obtain...

Harnessing machine learning to guide phylogenetic-tree search algorithms.

Nature communications
Inferring a phylogenetic tree is a fundamental challenge in evolutionary studies. Current paradigms for phylogenetic tree reconstruction rely on performing costly likelihood optimizations. With the aim of making tree inference feasible for problems i...

MSA-Regularized Protein Sequence Transformer toward Predicting Genome-Wide Chemical-Protein Interactions: Application to GPCRome Deorphanization.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Small molecules play a critical role in modulating biological systems. Knowledge of chemical-protein interactions helps address fundamental and practical questions in biology and medicine. However, with the rapid emergence of newly sequenced genes, t...

Using neural networks to mine text and predict metabolic traits for thousands of microbes.

PLoS computational biology
Microbes can metabolize more chemical compounds than any other group of organisms. As a result, their metabolism is of interest to investigators across biology. Despite the interest, information on metabolism of specific microbes is hard to access. I...

Analysis of protein determinants of host-specific infection properties of polyomaviruses using machine learning.

Genes & genomics
BACKGROUND: The large tumor antigen (LT-Ag) and major capsid protein VP1 are known to play important roles in determining the host-specific infection properties of polyomaviruses (PyVs).
