BioNTech says developed method to detect high-risk corona virus variants
The new computational method can analyse genetic sequencing data of new corona virus mutations found in infected people and assesses the risk
BioNTech said it has developed a method to quickly determine whether a new virus variant is a cause for concern, collaborating with British Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup InstaDeep.
In a joint statement yesterday, BioNTech and its partner said the new computational method can analyse genetic sequencing data of new coronavirus mutations found in infected people and assesses the risk they pose within days and sometimes within just minutes.
