Speeding Up Antibiotic Resistance Detection with InterSystems IRIS
Antibiotic resistance is a critical health challenge, requiring rapid detection to inform effective treatments. We worked on developing a solution that leverages InterSystems IRIS vector database technology that would quickly identify resistance genes in DNA.
How It Works
Using vector embeddings, DNA sequences are transformed into numerical representations that capture essential genetic information. InterSystems IRIS then enables high-speed searching and matching of these vectors, identifying possible resistance genes.
