What kind of things can be done with this? Are there tools that consume genomes and tell you something about them? Is biology advanced enough that it would be possible to create such tools?
I see they have several different strains. I could imagine trying to find similarities or organize them into a tree, if that's not already done.
- asdff 7y agoIn fact that is exactly what is done. What you are describing is genome annotation and homology based phylogenetic analysis.
