New preprint led by Jamie Herzig w innovative phylo-graph machine learning! 🕸️ Dissects that q "are our genotype-to-phenotype host predictions really adaptive mechns or just phylogenetic signal?" For paramyxoviruses, explicitly using shared ancestry structure tells us a lot! @cvrinfo.bsky.social
Minimum spanning tree as a graph, adapted from phylogeny of 218 representative paramyxovirus sequences. Nodes are coloured by curated label of host origin.

Followed by another @vibelab.co.uk member Dr Jamie Herzig showing how to tease apart genuine 'host signatures' in viral genomes from phylogenetic signal, also with graph neural nets! #ViBioM2026 @evbc.bsky.social

🔍🦠🦗 𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲! Work with us, @martashocket.bsky.social and Max Farrell to build information systems and large language models to capture key biological host-pathogen relations from literature - that could control crop pests or conserve biodiversity!
