Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method of determining the need of adding a mitigant to feed for inactivating viruses that might be present in said feed. The preferred mitigant is a mixture comprising benzoic acid flakes and a powder that comprises eugenol and thymol. Said mixture inactivates viruses quickly, even when added in low concentration only. This applies in particular (but not only) to porcine epidemic diarrhea vims (PEDV). The animal feed, by way of the invention, is thus rendered to be substantially free of harmful viral RNA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying the source of a biological sequence containing sample from raw sequencing reads. The method may be used to identify the source of unknown DNA and can be used for diagnostic, biodefense, food safety and quality, and hygiene applications. In another aspect the invention relates to a database of reference sequences which can be used in the method of the invention.

Abstract: A method for predicting a set of chemical, physical or biological features related to chemical substances or related to interactions of chemical substances including using at least 16 different individual prediction means, thereby providing an individual prediction of the set of features for each of the individual prediction means and predicting the set of features on the basis of combining the individual predictions, the combining being performed in such a manner that the combined prediction is more accurate on a test set than substantially any of the predictions of the individual prediction means.
