BIG-bench Machine Learning

Vaccine-escape and fast-growing mutations in the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, and other COVID-19-devastated countries

no code implementations14 Mar 2021 Rui Wang, Jiahui Chen, Kaifu Gao, Guo-Wei Wei

We further unveil that mutation N501Y involved in United Kingdom (UK), South Africa, and Brazil variants may moderately weaken the binding between the RBD and many known antibodies, while mutations E484K and K417N found in South Africa and Brazilian variants can potentially disrupt the binding between the RDB and many known antibodies.

Methodology-centered review of molecular modeling, simulation, and prediction of SARS-CoV-2

no code implementations1 Feb 2021 Kaifu Gao, Rui Wang, Jiahui Chen, Limei Cheng, Jaclyn Frishcosy, Yuta Huzumi, Yuchi Qiu, Tom Schluckbier, Guo-Wei Wei

To provide the reader a quick update about the status of molecular modeling, simulation, and prediction of SARS-CoV-2, we present a comprehensive and systematic methodology-centered narrative in the nick of time.

Drug Discovery

Prediction and mitigation of mutation threats to COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies

no code implementations13 Oct 2020 Jiahui Chen, Kaifu Gao, Rui Wang, GuoWei Wei

This discovery implies the vulnerability of current vaccines and antibody drugs to new mutations.

Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 mutations in the United States

no code implementations24 Jul 2020 Rui Wang, Jiahui Chen, Kaifu Gao, Yuta Hozumi, Changchuan Yin, Guo-Wei Wei

Using genotyping, sequence-alignment, time-evolution, $k$-means clustering, protein-folding stability, algebraic topology, and network theory, we reveal that the US SARS-CoV-2 has four substrains and five top US SARS-CoV-2 mutations were first detected in China (2 cases), Singapore (2 cases), and the United Kingdom (1 case).
