Virus–Host Coevolution with a Focus on Animal and Human DNA Viruses
Viruses have been infecting their host cells since the dawn of life, and this extremely long-term coevolution gave rise to some surprising consequences for the entire tree of life. It is hypothesised that viruses might have contributed to the formation of the first cellular life form, or that even the eukaryotic cell n...

Intraspecies diversity of SARS-like coronaviruses in Rhinolophus sinicus and its implications for the origin of SARS coronaviruses in humans.
The Chinese rufous horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sinicus) has been suggested to carry the direct ancestor of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SCoV), and the diversity of SARS-like CoVs (SLCoV) within this Rhinolophus species is therefore worth investigating. Here, we demonstrate the remarkable diversi...

Effect of weather on COVID-19 spread in the US: A prediction model for India in 2020
The effect of weather on COVID-19 spread is poorly understood. Recently, few studies have claimed that warm weather can possibly slowdown the global pandemic, which has already affected over 1.6 million people worldwide. Clarification of such relationships in the worst affected country, the US, can be immensely benefic...

Susceptible supply limits the role of climate in the early SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
Preliminary evidence suggests that climate may modulate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Yet it remains unclear whether seasonal and geographic variations in climate can substantially alter the pandemic trajectory, given high susceptibility is a core driver. Here, we use a climate-dependent epidemic model to simulate th...

CLUSTREC-COVID: A Topical Clustering Benchmark for COVID-19 Scientific Research

Dataset Summary

CLUSTREC-COVID is a modified version of the TREC-COVID dataset, transformed into a topical clustering benchmark. The dataset consists of titles and abstracts from scientific papers about COVID-19 research, covering a diverse range of research topics. Each document in the dataset is assigned to a specific subtopic, making it ideal for use in document clustering and topic modeling tasks.

The dataset is useful for researchers aiming to evaluate clustering algorithms and techniques for automatic organization of scientific literature. It can also be used for exploring information retrieval systems that aim to group documents by subtopic or related research areas.

The source of this dataset is the TREC-COVID retrieval dataset, which has been adapted for clustering and organization tasks.

Dataset Structure

Each document in the dataset includes the following fields:

  • topic_name (string): The specific subtopic to which the document has been assigned. (e.g., "coronavirus response to weather changes").
  • topic_id (string): A unique identifier for the topic. (cluster identifier)
  • title (string): The title of the scientific paper.
  • abstract (string): The abstract or summary of the paper.
  • doc_id (string): A unique document identifier.

  "abstract": "We test the hypothesis of COVID-19 contagion being influenced by meteorological parameters such as temperature or humidity.\
              We analysed data at high spatial resolution (regions in Italy and counties in the USA) and found that while at low resolution this might seem the case,\
              at higher resolution no correlation is found. Our results are consistent with a poor outdoors transmission of the disease. However,\
              a possible indirect correlation between good weather and a decrease in disease spread may occur,\
              as people spend longer time outdoors.",
