Scoring Amino Acid Mutations to Predict Avian-to-Human Transmission of Avian Influenza Viruses

Avian influenza virus (AIV) can directly cross species barriers and infect humans with high fatality. Using machine learning methods, the present paper scores the amino acid mutations and predicts interspecies transmission. Initially, 183 signature positions in 11 viral proteins were screened by the...
