Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Process a high volume of sequence data in real time to identify meaningful mutational patterns while minimizing the need for human effort.

Detailed example

Lineage classification identifiers for sequences

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.

Expected benefit

Improved user retrieval of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences based on classification and tracking of specific lineages, including those associated with mutations that may decrease effectiveness of therapeutics or protection provided by vaccination.?
