UC San Diego scientists predict drug resistance in malaria using genome analysis and machine learning.

Researchers at UC San Diego analyzed the genomes of 724 malaria parasites to predict drug resistance, a breakthrough that could help prioritize new treatments. Using machine learning, scientists could forecast resistance not just in malaria but also in other diseases, including cancer. The study, published in Science, reveals consistent genetic patterns driving drug resistance across various pathogens and human cells.
