New AI can predict virus mutations and help create more effective treatments and vaccines

by  University of Waterloo Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have developed a new method that uses artificial intelligence to foresee the most likely mutations of pathogens like SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The new research has implications for the rapid development of vaccines, treatments, and diagnostic tests that would be much less likely to be...
