| Abstract | The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic raised the challenge of developing new computational techniques for understanding the immune response to emerging pathogens. This project will develop a new computer program for analyzing the parts of the genome that are responsible for immune responses to pathogens. This will enable analyses of the development of immunity to the virus in human populations by characterizing the mutations that are essential to the immune response. This research will also enhance unde |
