  • Compositions, processes and algorithms for microbial detection
    Publication number: 20170039316
    Abstract: Processes for identifying whether any parasite or other organism is present in a host comprising: a. scanning for non-host signatures, b. scanning for one-error-removed non-host signatures; c. scanning for N-error removed non-host signatures; where N is selected to give the desired statistical certainty of the presence or absence of any parasite in the host. Algorithms useful for such detections and listings of specific signatures” (sequences or subsequences) for identifying specific microorganisms are also both provided.
