Some fantastic work by MD/PhD student Nathan Pincus, who is also defending his thesis today! #Pseudomonas #MachineLearning Alan R. Hauser Northwestern Driskill Graduate Program in Life Sci Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

Thanks Alan R. Hauser ! It's exciting to see my thesis work come together ahead of my return to med school next week!

A Genome-Based Model to Predict the Virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates skyw.io/j7lA8J

Scientists used machine learning to predict the virulence level of P. aeruginosa isolates in a mouse bacteremia model based on genomic content and show that both the accessory and core genomes are predictive of virulence. mBio skyw.io/c8ZJNI
