We wondered if ML-guided design could improve viral diagnostics—and found it does enable better sensitivity than existing techniques and broadly effective assays for all vertebrate viruses. So happy to see our work now published in Nature Biotechnology. nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵

Nature Biotechnology ADAPT is fully automated for viral diagnostic design & routinely run on the latest viral variation一so Priya P Pillai & the team have created a website at adapt.run with up-to-date assays for >1,500 viruses. It’ll also let you run ADAPT on your own data!

We show how #OperationOutbreak (@OOeducation) can help assess the risk of pathogenic threats and provide epidemiological data useful to outbreak mitigation. A thread on our modeling paper with @Ivan_Specht Kian Sani @TechnologyBryn codeanticode Pardis Sabeti and many others.

One of my favorite tools in genomics... Also has the best Web interface 🤩 TIL that Priya P Pillai designed/built the ADAPT app: adapt.run
