Estimating rates of SARS-CoV-2 lineage spread using graph spectra from genetic sequence data

The modern enormous scale of viral genomic data, as exemplified by SARS-CoV-2, presents unique opportunities for epidemic inference and real-time monitoring. A key challenge is to wade through the extremely large stream of sequence data in order to identify small subsets of sequences that may represent rapid population growth of newly emerged lineages. To address this challenge, we developed a new approach that combines techniques in graph theory and machine learning. We represent distances betw...

Leveraging artificial intelligence for livestock genetics and breeding.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming modern society including animal genetics and breeding which is essential for meeting global nutritional needs in supplying milk, meat, and eggs among the most complete sources of protein and micronutrients. Although animal breeding has a long history of using data-driven prediction methods, the application of modern AI approaches remains at a relatively early stage and shows substantial potential for wide-ranging applications...
