Как мы разработали ML-модели для определения лекарственной устойчивости и субтипа ВИЧ-1

ВИЧ-1 быстро мутирует. При геномном анализе вируса нужно определить две вещи: к каким антиретровирусным препаратам он может быть устойчив и к какому субтипу относится. В мировой практике для этих задач используют Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database и COMET: первый сервис помогает интерпретировать лекарственную устойчивость, второй — определять субтип. Мы собрали локальные ML-модели для анализа ВИЧ-1 по данным геномного секвенирования. Первая модель прогнозирует лекарственную устойчивость к антиретровирусн Read more

Coachlight.Avalonia: почему в desktop-разработке до сих пор нет нормального онбординга — и как я решил это исправить
