A multi-task CNN learning model for taxonomic assignment of human viruses.

We have developed a pipeline that combines a novel MT-CNN model that is able to identify viruses with divergent sequences together with assignment of the genomic region, with a Bayesian approach to ranking of taxonomic assignments by taking into account both the number of assigned reads and genomic coverage. The pipeline is available at GitHub via https://github.com/MaHaoran627/CNN_Virus .
