AI Mapping Bacteria

 Intrigued by the idea of mapping some complex, yet still varying topography.   The morphology and how that can be used to understand its functional characteristics.  

AI to Map Our Intestinal Bacteria   University of Copenhagen (Denmark)  January 12, 2021

Researchers at Denmark's University of Copenhagen (UCPH) are applying artificial intelligence (AI) to the exploration of human intestinal bacteria and its relationship to disease. UCPH's Simon Rasmussen and colleagues developed an algorithm that uses AI to complete the DNA strings of the approximately 1 billion bacteria found in feces. Said Rasmussen, "If we are able to reconstruct their DNA, it will give us an idea of the types of bacteria we are dealing with, what they are capable of, and what they actually do. It is not the complete picture, but it is a huge step forward." ... '
