UBC expertise: Clinical Infectiology
Fundamental research concept “My main weapon of choice is whole genome sequencing, either on isolated bacteria or directly from clinical samples. The latter is often more tricky, as the bioinformatics involved becomes an order of magnitude more difficult, not only because of the sheer volume of data, but also the complexity. Fortunately, the pace of […]
Predicting metabolites based on bacterial genes
A novel computer model uses microorganisms’ DNA to determine the metabolites used and produced by the bacteria in different parts of the human body.
