Machine Learning Predicts Accurately Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Resistance From Whole Genome Sequencing Data
26 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background: Tuberculosis disease, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a major public health problem. The emergence of M. tuberculosis strains resistant to existing treatments threatens to derail control efforts. Resistance is mainly conferred by mutations in genes coding for drug-targets or -converting enzymes, but our knowledge of these mutations is incomplete. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is an...
