In the COVID-19 epidemic the mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic infections generate a substantial portion of virus spread; these undetected individuals make it difficult to assess the effectiveness of preventive measures as most epidemic prevention strategies are based on the detected data. Effectively identifying the undetected infections in local transmission will be of great help in COVID-19 control. In this work, we propose an RNA virus transmission network representation model based on graph attention networks (RVTR); this model is constructed using the principle of natural language processing to learn the information of gene sequence and using a graph attention network to catch the topological character of COVID-19 transmission networks. Since SARS-CoV-2 will mutate when it spreads, our approach makes use of graph context loss function, which can reflect that the genetic sequence of infections with close spreading relation will be more similar than those with a long distance, to train our model. Our approach shows its ability to find asymptomatic spreaders both on simulated and real COVID-19 datasets and performs better when compared with other network representation and feature extraction methods.

Single-cell multi-omics techniques, which enable the simultaneous measurement of multiple modalities such as RNA gene expression and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) within individual cells, have become a powerful tool for deciphering the intricate complexity of cellular systems. Most current methods rely on motif databases to establish cross-modality relationships between genes from RNA-seq data and peaks from ATAC-seq data. However, these approaches are constrained by incomplete database coverage, particularly for novel or poorly characterized relationships.

Drug-target interactions (DTIs) are pivotal in drug discovery and development, and their accurate identification can significantly expedite the process. Numerous DTI prediction methods have emerged, yet many fail to fully harness the feature information of drugs and targets or address the issue of feature redundancy. We aim to refine DTI prediction accuracy by eliminating redundant features and capitalizing on the node topological structure to enhance feature extraction.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have received extensive research attention due to their powerful information aggregation capabilities. Despite the success of GNNs, most of them suffer from the popularity bias issue in a graph caused by a small number of popular categories. Additionally, real graph datasets always contain incorrect node labels, which hinders GNNs from learning effective node representations.
