PathogenFinder2 is a new AI tool developed by researchers at DTU in Denmark, in collaboration with international partners, to determine whether an unfamiliar bacterium possesses genetic characteristics associated with the ability to cause disease. The research has been published in Bioinformatics, one of the world's leading journals in bioinformatics and computational biology. The research could significantly strengthen pandemic preparedness.
