PREDICTION OF HUMAN-VIRUS PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS THROUGH A SEQUENCE EMBEDDING-BASED MACHINE LEARNING METHOD

Prediction of human-virus protein-protein interactions through a sequence embedding-based machine learning method

The identification of human-virus protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is an essential and challenging research topic, potentially providing a mechanistic understanding of viral infection.Given that the experimental determination of human-virus PPIs is time-consuming and labor-intensive, computational methods are playing an important role in providi

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) prevalence in field-collected ticks (Ixodes ricinus) and phylogenetic, structural and virulence analysis in a TBE high-risk endemic area in southwestern Germany

Abstract Background Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most common viral CNS infection with incidences much higher than all other virus infections together in many risk areas of central and eastern Europe.The Odenwald Hill region (OWH) in southwestern Germany is classified as a TBE risk region and frequent case numbers but also more severe infect
