Machine Learning to Identify Critical Biomarker Profiles in New SARS-CoV-2 Variants
Abstract
The global dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in the emergence of several variants, including Alpha, Alpha + E484K, Beta, and Omicron. Our research integrated the study of eukaryotic translation factors and fundamental components in general protein synthesis with the analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants and vaccination status. Utilizing statistical methods, we successfully differentiated between variants in infected individuals and, to a lesser extent, between vaccinated and non-vaccinated infected individuals, relying on the expression profiles of translation factors. Additionally, our investigation identified common causal relationships among the translation factors, shedding light on the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 variants and the host's translation machinery.
Keywords: Alpha; Alpha + E484K; Beta; F1 score; Omicron; PC algorithm; Restricted Boltzmann Machine neural network; SARS-CoV-2; machine learning; precision; recall; vaccination state; variants; z-scores.
