Binding Strength Predictions for 1,342 Bats to 11 Filoviruses

1,342 bat records with predicted binding strengths to 11 filoviruses. The dataset includes bat species name, family, and 11 columns of binding strength predictions. It was authored by Adrian Castellanos and last updated on May 20, 2026.

Use Cases

• Training predictive models for viral host range based on binding strength predictions.
• Identifying bat species with high predicted affinity for specific filoviruses.
• Analyzing phylogenetic patterns in host susceptibility across bat families.
• Prioritizing species for experimental validation of viral binding.

Strengths

• Contains predictions for 1,342 distinct bat records.
• Covers binding interactions with 11 different filoviruses.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect modeling bias inherent to the prediction method.
