- lobal team of scientists has discovered how to make more accurate predictions of genetic mutations that cause disease in humans after applying AI techniques to an expanded primate DNA databas
- The academic researchers teamed up with Illumina, the US company making DNA sequencing equipment, to identify 4.3mn common genetic variants found in the genomes of 233 primate species.
- Farh said PrimateAI-3D was 12 per cent more accurate overall than any previous method of assessing genetic risks of developing health problems such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
- “You can train a generative language model such as ChatGPT on existing text from Wikipedia and elsewhere,” said Kyle Farh, Illumina vice-president for AI.
