Soft computing model on genetic diversity and pathotype differentiation of pathogens: A novel approach

Background Identifying and validating biomarkers' scores of polymorphic bands are important for studies related to the molecular diversity of pathogens. Although these validations provide more relevant results, the experiments are very complex and time-consuming. Besides rapid identification of...
