We are excited to share that our new tool VILOCA has been published in NAR G&B: doi.org/10.1093/nargab/lqae1…! VILOCA is a novel method for mutation calling and local haplotype reconstruction from diverse viral sequencing data, which is also adept for viral surveillance in wastewater.

Much of the success of breakthroughs, such as AlphaFold, is thanks to a database of protein structures dreamed up in the 1960s by Helen Berman go.nature.com/4hp4UCP
The huge protein database that spawned AlphaFold and biology’s AI revolution
