Genomics and artificial intelligence - Aitechpark
AI algorithms are all about imitating human intelligence. But there’s more to AI when it comes to human genomics. The first human genome sequencing process (also known as the Human Genome Project) took 13 years (1990-20030. But thanks to AI, now you can have your genome sequenced in a week.
The HGP answered a plethora of questions for researchers, and many are still unanswered. For instance, only about 1 percent of genes are responsible for protein synthesis. We still don’t know the functions of most genes and their roles in the body, if any. And that most genes work cooperatively rather than independently. But comprehending the genome sequence is critical to spot genetic mutations or variations, ultimately diagnosing and treating illnesses.
