Adrian Castellanos published this dataset on 2026-05-18 to train models predicting filovirus binding strength to bat NPC1 receptors. The 58.2 KB CSV file integrates functional traits, geographic information, habitat associations, and phylogenetic context for bat species. Binding strength labels are sourced from a 2025 study, while trait data are aggregated from multiple ecological databases.
Use Cases
- Modeling filovirus binding strength to bat NPC1 receptors based on integrated species trait data.
- Analyzing correlations between bat functional traits and viral binding affinity.
- Predicting potential zoonotic reservoir species based on geographic and phylogenetic context.
Strengths
- Data integrates labels from a peer-reviewed 2025 study (Lasso et al.).
- Trait data are sourced from multiple established ecological databases (COMBINE, PanTHERIA, EltonTraits).
- 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.
- The dataset's 58.2 KB size suggests a limited scope, likely covering a specific set of bat species.
