Artificial intelligence tool
Published in Genome Research, April 2019
Like finding a needle in a haystack, identifying genes that are involved in particular diseases can be
an arduous and time-consuming process. Using artificial intelligence, a team of researchers at the Duncan
NRI has developed a new bioinformatics tool that analyzes data and identifies potentially relevant genes
with greater sensitivity and accuracy than previously possible. This cloud-based computing framework
enables lab scientists around the world to better estimate the statistical significance of each gene that
they measure while generating likely candidate targets for therapies in a matter of hours.
