RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The exact animal origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains obscure and understanding its host range is vital for preventing interspecies transmission. METHODS: Herein, we applied single-cell sequencing to multiple tissues of 20 species (30 data sets) and integrated them with public resources (45 data sets covering 26 species) to expand the virus receptor distribution investigation. While the binding affinity between virus and receptor is essential for viral infectivity, understanding the receptor distribution could predict the permissive organs and tissues when infection occurs. RESULTS: Based on the transcriptomic data, the expression profiles of receptor or associated entry factors for viruses capable of causing respiratory, blood, and brain diseases were described in detail. Conserved cellular connectomes and regulomes were also identified, revealing fundamental cell-cell and gene-gene cross-talks from reptiles to humans. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our study provides a resource of the single-cell atlas of the animal kingdom which could help to identify the potential host range and tissue tropism of viruses and reveal the host-virus co-evolution.

The re-identification (ReID) task has received increasing studies in recent years and its performance has gained significant improvement. The progress mainly comes from searching for new network structures to learn person representations. Most of these networks are trained using the classic stochastic gradient descent optimizer. However, limited efforts have been made to explore potential performance of existing ReID networks directly by better training scheme, which leaves a large space for ReID research. In this paper, we propose a Self-Inspirited Feature Learning (SIF) method to enhance performance of given ReID networks from the viewpoint of optimization. We design a simple adversarial learning scheme to encourage a network to learn more discriminative person representation. In our method, an auxiliary branch is added into the network only in the training stage, while the structure of the original network stays unchanged during the testing stage. In summary, SIF has three aspects of advantages: (1) it is designed under general setting; (2) it is compatible with many existing feature learning networks on the ReID task; (3) it is easy to implement and has steady performance. We evaluate the performance of SIF on three public ReID datasets: Market1501, DuckMTMC-reID, and CUHK03(both labeled and detected). The results demonstrate significant improvement in performance brought by SIF. We also apply SIF to obtain state-of-the-art results on all the three datasets. Specifically, mAP / Rank-1 accuracy are: 87.6% / 95.2% (without re-rank) on Market1501, 79.4% / 89.8% on DuckMTMC-reID, 77.0% / 79.5% on CUHK03 (labeled) and 73.9% / 76.6% on CUHK03 (detected), respectively. The code of SIF will be available soon.
