Unsupervised explainable AI for molecular evolutionary study of forty thousand SARS-CoV-2 genomes

Yuki Iwasaki et al.

Summary: This study applied an unsupervised AI approach called BLSOM to analyze the oligonucleotide compositions of forty thousand SARS-CoV-2 genomes. The results showed that the genomes could be clustered based on their oligonucleotide compositions, revealing information about main clades and internal divisions. Additionally, the BLSOM also provided insights into a special genomic region possibly undergoing RNA modifications.

Potential APOBEC-mediated RNA editing of the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses and its impact on their longer term evolution

Jeremy Ratcliff et al.

Summary: Members of the APOBEC family exhibit antiviral activities in mammalian cells through lethal editing of the genomes of various viruses, including RNA viruses like coronaviruses. APOBEC-like C-*U transitions are significantly overrepresented in the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may leave evolutionary imprints on coronavirus genomes. This process may lead to homoplasy and amino acid sequence changes in viral proteins, potentially explaining global depletion of C and excess of U bases in human seasonal coronavirus genomes.

Comparative genomics of Glandirana rugosa using unsupervised AI reveals a high CG frequency

Yukako Katsura et al.

Summary: The Japanese wrinkled frog has a unique genome with high CG frequency and a large amount of repeat sequences, as well as both XX-XY and ZZ-ZW types of sex chromosomes. Comparing its genome with other frog species can help to understand the mechanisms of turnover of sex chromosomes within one species or during a short period.

Human cell-dependent, directional, time-dependent changes in the mono- and oligonucleotide compositions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes

Yuki Iwasaki et al.

Summary: The study found that the nucleotide compositions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes showed common directional changes in different clades, moving towards those prevalent in humans for a long period of time, and away from bat coronaviruses. These clade-independent, time-dependent changes are thought to have biological significance and are related to viral adaptation to the new host environment.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may exploit human transcription factors involved in retinoic acid and interferon-mediated response: a hypothesis supported by an in silico analysis

I. di Bari et al.

Summary: This study reveals the dependence of SARS-CoV-2 on the host transcription machinery, shedding light on the virus's disruption of the IFN-I signaling in host cells by competing for human TF. The mechanisms behind the retinoic acid depletion syndrome and new TF binding sites were also identified, paving the way for potential new drug targets and therapeutic approaches.
