New AI microbiome tool offers breakthroughs in forensics and epidemiology
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 08, 2024
A team from Lund University in Sweden has introduced a pioneering AI-powered tool that can track the recent geographical locations visited by individuals, based on the microbial traces they leave behind. Called the Microbiome Geographic Population Structure (mGPS), this system functions like a GPS but for microorganisms, enabling the identification of specific locations through bacteria samples.
