In this study, we present an application paradigm in which an unsupervised machine learning approach is applied to the high-dimensional influenza genetic sequences to investigate whether vaccine is a driving force to the evolution...

Zoonotic spillover, which is the transmission of a pathogen from a vertebrate animal to a human, presents a global public health burden but is a poorly understood phenomenon. Zoonotic spillover requires several factors to...

An essential feature of the life cycle of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the packaging of the viral RNA pre-genome (pgRNA) into virions. It has been hypothesized that pgRNA is specifically packaged into viral...

Influenza viruses, similarly to other viruses, rapidly acquire de novo mutations when they replicate within their host cells.However, how the emergence of viral variants in the host is reflected at a global scale is...

In this review we provide an overview of the diversity of large DNA viruses known to be pathogenic for invertebrates. We present their taxonomical classification and describe the evolutionary relationships among various groups of...
