As the above figure illustrates, the amount of publicly available biological sequence data has exploded in recent years. In Project GATTACA, we seek to tap into this historical opportunity to develop algorithms, visualization tools and predictive models which are all geared towards very large amounts of bio-sequence data (DNA, RNA, protein). Currently, we focus on RNA viruses and other fast evolving pathogens because the data are plentiful, the need is great, and the potential for impacting public health is significant.
