Using AI and DNA Signals to Detect Living Microbes 🔬

#HelmholtzMunich & @helmholtzai.bsky.social show #AI can infer microbial viability from raw nanopore signals – distinguishing live vs. dead microbes for more precise genomic diagnostics in health & environmental monitoring.

Could we quickly determine if outbreak samples come from infectious sources, on-site using portable tech?

Here's a new method using AI to distinguish living and dead microbes using only Oxford Nanopore signal data.

Thx to all involved, esp. Harika Ürel & Lara Urban

Interesting quant. analysis of AI framing in French media 2012-22.
Agenda is dominated by government and big tech actors, but uniformity is cracking.
Growing politicisation of AI issues though newspaper left/right polarisation, and X/FB users increasingly criticising AI applications
