Summary

GenEx turned codon co-occurrence into graph features and benchmarked 23 classifiers across SARS-CoV-2 variants.

The pipeline extracts more than 25 structural and spectral features rather than treating sequences only as strings. Strong reported classification belongs to the selected historical variants and datasets, not future-variant surveillance or a diagnostic assay.

Why it matters

GenEx turned codon co-occurrence into graph features and benchmarked 23 classifiers across SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Limits and context

  • The pipeline extracts more than 25 structural and spectral features rather than treating sequences only as strings.
  • Strong reported classification belongs to the selected historical variants and datasets, not future-variant surveillance or a diagnostic assay.

Key claims

  1. GenEx turned codon co-occurrence into graph features and benchmarked 23 classifiers across SARS-CoV-2 variants.
