amR: an R package suite to predict antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens

**Motivation** Identifying bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is critical for diagnostics and treatment, but resistance is a complex trait arising from myriad mechanisms spanning multiple molecular scales. Existing computational approaches …

Genotype-phenotype modeling of light ecotypes in Prochlorococcus reveals genomic signatures of ecotypic divergence

Prochlorococcus is a cyanobacterial genus that exhibits photosynthetic capacity and remarkable genetic diversity. We analyze how Prochlorococcus genomics relate to high vs. low light environment adaptations, applying traditional comparative genomics …

From sequence to signature: Uncovering multiscale AMR features across bacterial pathogens with supervised machine learning

Since the clinical introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become an increasingly dire threat to global public health. Pathogens acquire AMR much faster than we discover new drugs (antibiotics), warranting …
