Virulencefactors (VFs) are key molecules that enable pathogens to evade the immune systems of the host. These factors are crucial for revealing the pathogenic processes of microbes and drug discovery. Identification of virulence factors in microbes become an important problem in the field of bioinformatics. To address this problem, this study proposes a novel model DTVF (Deep Transfer Learning for Virulence Factor Prediction), which integrates the ProtT5 protein sequence extraction model with a dual-channel deep learning model. In the dual-channel deep learning model, we innovatively integrate long short-term memory (LSTM) with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), creating a novel integrated architecture. Furthermore, by incorporating the attention mechanism, the accuracy of VF detection was significantly enhanced. We evaluated the DTVF model against other excellent-performing models in the field. DTVF demonstrates superior performance, achieving an accuracy rate of 84.55% and an AUROC of 92.08% on the benchmark dataset. DTVF shows state-of-the-art performance in this field, surpassing the existing models in nearly all metrics. To facilitate the use of biologists, we have also developed an interactive web-based user interface version of DTVF based on Gradio.
