A team headed by the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division’s Chris Mungall, will be part of the National Institute of Health program, Bridge to Artificial Intelligence (Bridge2AI). Mungall and his colleagues will be collaborators in the Standards Core, led by the University of Colorado.
Scientists Sequence Genome of Snail That Spreads Parasitic Worm
An international team of scientists, including Environmental Genomics & System Biology Division’s Monica Munoz-Torres, has characterized the genome of B. glabrata, a freshwater snail that is instrumental in transmitting a parasitic worm to humans. The achievement could help researchers disrupt the life cycle of the worm that causes the disease schistosomiasis, an also known as snail fever. Read the science short at the Berkeley Lab News Center.
Chris Mungall and Monica Munoz-Torres Recognized by International Society for Biocuration
