Arkansas Researchers Sequence COVID-19 Genomes & Discover Mutation Limitations
A team of researchers led by Professor David Ussery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is using high-throughput computing to help in sequencing and analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes within Arkansas and comparing these to millions of other Covid-19 genomes sequenced from around the world. The work performed by this team led to the discovery that the COVID-19 virus has limitations on the number of possible mutations, a significant result that will contribute to the global knowledge base needed to combat COVID-19 and similar viruses….Continue Reading Arkansas Researchers Sequence COVID-19 Genomes & Discover Mutation Limitations
Data Curation and SARS-CoV-2: population genomics of 2.5 million genomes
Covid-19 has become a global pandemic, and recently Arkansas has seen a dramatic increase in number of cases, mainly due to a new variant (“Delta”). Using a population genomics approach, we are in the third wave with the current Delta variant accounting for about 83% of the strains sequenced. This has been preceded by the Alpha variant, which peaked in March of this year (2021), and another less characterized variant (Janus), which peaked in September 2020. Each of these variants has become better adapted for infecting and spreading within the human population….Continue Reading Data Curation and SARS-CoV-2: population genomics of 2.5 million genomes
First Steps toward a Data Washing Machine
Data has a life cycle from planning to acquiring, cleansing, storing & sharing, integrating, application, and disposing. While AI and machine learning have taken the application of data to new levels, the other phases remain largely manually mediated processes. The research goal for the Data Life Cycle and Curation thrust is to develop fully automated processes for the other phases of the data life cycle. The presentation today describes some of the progress of the research finding ways to automate data cleansing and data integration phases of the data life cycle….Continue Reading First Steps toward a Data Washing Machine
