Methods in Bioinformatic and Predictive Virology

This series aims to highlight the latest experimental and computational techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in Methods in Bioinformatic and Predictive Virology research. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and state-of-the artup-to-date methods applied to viruses. which help advance science.

The contributions to this collection will undergo peer review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of Methods in Bioinformatic and Predictive Virology.

This Research Topic welcomes:

• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes towards viruses. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.

• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.

• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.

• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.

Some areas that are covered can include the study of viral mutations, modeling of escape mutations and their effects, as well as exploratory methods for understanding the functions of viral proteins and the effects of mutations.
