- We built GenoPHI: a machine learning workflow that predicts phage-host interactions at strain level. This could help rapidly select phages to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections or for microbiome engineering without exhaustive lab testing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- THE CHALLENGE: Bacteria and phages are incredibly diverse. Experimentally testing each phage against a new bacterial target isn't feasible. But finding the right phage quickly could be life-saving, especially for drug-resistant infections where treatment options are limited.
