… the process hinges on referencing to existing genome sequences.  Some of these proteins are what the scientists … artificial intelligence to decode the language of protein sequences and obtain hints of their possible functions. Yet … this metagenomic space (the ‘unknown unknowns’) was vastly greater than that of the reference genomes — by at least …
