AI Models to Enhance Metagenomics Analysis

Metagenomics is the study of the DNA sequences of multiple organisms (vs Genomics, which focuses on a single organism) in a sample, such as microbes, viruses, and fungi. It helps scientists more accurately analyze microbial diversity, which plays a huge role in human diseases. Metagenomics has been used to identify new beneficial genes from the environment and novel antibiotics. A team of Rice University researchers have developed AI models that have the potential to revolutionize the field of metagenomics.
