Prediction of viral-host interactions of COVID-19 by computational methods.

ABSTRACT: Experimental approaches are currently used to determine viral-host interactions, but these approaches are both time-consuming and costly. For these reasons, computational-based approaches are recommended. In this study, using computational-based approaches, viral-host interactions of SARS-CoV-2 virus and human proteins were predicted. The study consists of four different stages; in the first stage viral and host protein sequences were obtained. In the second stage, protein sequences were converted into numerical expressions by various protein mapping methods. These methods are entropy-based, AVL-tree, FIBHASH, binary encoding, CPNR, PAM250, BLOSUM62, Atchley factors, Meiler parameters, EIIP, AESNN1, Miyazawa energies, Micheletti potentials, Z-scale, and hydrophobicity. In the third stage,
