Genomic sequencing: what it is and how it’s being used against Covid-19 in Victoria
Authors: Elias Visontay@EliasVisontay What is genomic sequencing? Genomic sequencing analyses the virus sample taken from a diagnosed patient and compares it with other cases. Prior to Covid-19, genomic sequencing has […]
An application of slow feature analysis to the genetic sequences of coronaviruses and influenza viruses
Authors: Anastasios A. Tsonis, Geli Wang, Lvyi Zhang, Wenxu Lu, Aristotle Kayafas & Katia Del Rio-Tsonis Mathematical approaches have been for decades used to probe the structure of nucleotide sequences. This has led to the development […]
