Machine Learning Early Detection of SARS-CoV-2 High-Risk Variants.

ABSTRACT: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has evolved many high-risk variants, resulting in repeated COVID-19 waves over the past years. Therefore, accurate early warning of high-risk variants is vital for epidemic prevention and control. However, detecting high-risk variants through experimental and epidemiological research is time-consuming and often lags behind the emergence and spread of these variants. In this study, HiRisk-Detector a machine learning algorithm based on haplotype network, is developed for computationally early detecting high-risk SARS-CoV-2 variants. Leveraging over 7.6 million high-quality and complete SARS-CoV-2 genomes and metadata, the effectiveness, robustness, and generalizability of HiRisk-Detector are validated. First, HiRisk-Detector is
