Abstract

Genomics plays a critical role in tracking the transmission of pathogens and in the prediction of drug resistance and virulence. This project will develop computational and statistical methods which can automatically adapt as pathogens evolve to help public health officials and clinicians make optimal decisions. The tools will apply to a wide range of pathogen species including antibiotic-resistant bacteria and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.
