Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and partner institutions have developed BBERT, an AI tool that recognizes bacterial DNA in fragments as short as 100 bases. The work addresses a persistent problem in environmental genomics: scientists can sequence the genetic material in a soil sample, yet much of it remains difficult to interpret because the organisms are poorly represented in reference databases. The study, “Fast and accurate taxonomic domain assignment of short metagenomic…
