Project description
Applying deep learning to investigate the coronavirus–host interaction
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that it is necessary to understand the virus's interaction with the host in order to design effective therapeutics. The EU-funded RiPCoN project will analyse protein–protein interactions and protein–RNA interaction predictions between virus and host and feed this information into an existing deep learning model. This will generate a public resource for translational and basic coronavirus research and help identify approved drugs that are likely effective against 2019-nCoV. Most importantly, scientists will examine how genetic variations in both humans and the virus are jointly responsible for disease severity, hoping to improve risk management and preparedness for future outbreaks.
