• ITMO Researchers Develop Algorithm for Rapid DNA Analysis

  Scientists from ITMO University have unveiled Strainy, an algorithm that identifies DNA bacteria within microbiomes and discerns between heterogenous strains with a high degree of accuracy. With the help of this software, researchers should be able to quickly determine the pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance of specific bacterial communities, as well as learn more about their evolutionary paths. The corresponding paper has been published in Nature Methods.
