Scientists use common gene to profile microbial communities
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 5 (ANI): Computer scientists have developed Emu, an algorithm that uses long reads of genomes to identify the species of bacteria in a community. The program could simplify sorting harmful from helpful bacteria in microbiomes like those in the gut or in agriculture and
