Statistical test relates pathogen mutation to infectious disease progression
Nucleic acid sequencing methods, which determine the order of nucleotides in DNA, are rapidly progressing. These processes yield large quantities of sequence data that helps researchers understand organism function. Sequencing also benefits epidemiological studies, such as the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of genetic and/or contagious diseases. Researchers have now developed an inductive algorithm to study nucleotide frequencies using a multi-strain SIR model. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/12/171228170652.htm
