Predicting the animal hosts of coronaviruses from compositional biases of spike protein and whole genome sequences through machine learning. by Liam Brierley, Anna Fowler

“…However, different composition biases were informative in each case. Applying optimised random forest models to classify human sequences of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV revealed evolutionary signatures consistent with their recognised intermediate hosts (camelids, carnivores), while human sequences of SARS-CoV-2 were predicted as having bat hosts (suborder Yinpterochiroptera), supporting bats as the suspected origins of the current pandemic. …”
