Research Sheds Light on Genetic Processes Underlying Meningitis and Gastroenteritis

03:21 EST 12 Nov 2018 | Lab Bulletin

University of LeicesterUniversity of Leicester researchers have developed a computer system to scan large sets of genomes in deadly pathogens. Innovative computer software developed by University of Leicester scientists is shedding new light on the genetic makeup of deadly pathogens responsible for meningitis and gastroenteritis. The software, called ‘PhasomeIt’, rapidly scans through large sets of genomes and identifies their phase variable genes, whilst also comparing all of these genes against one another....
