Phylogenetic distance estimation between taxa in a tree is critical for tree reconstruction. There exist several classical methods that are already established in the field of phylogenetics. However, these classical methods of distance estimation are not straightforward and their computation can be tedious. As neural networks show great success in pattern recognition tasks, it is reasonable tha…
"Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis that could evade at least two different first-line anti tuberculosis drugs. MDR-TB poses a significant global health challenge, particularly in middle to lower income countries where affordable and rapid diagnostic tools are crucially needed.
