Artificial intelligence techniques can help speed up the process of analyzing the vast amounts of data involved in delivering accurate precision medicine.
The combination of artificial intelligence and genomic sequencing could significantly accelerate the development of precision medicine, researchers from the New York Genome Center (NYGC), The Rockefeller University, and IBM suggest in a new journal article.
Using IBM Watson for Oncology’s cognitive computing skills to examine whole genome sequencing data, researchers were able to analyze more genomic variants in less time than they could when employing other methodologies.
The automated platform took ten minutes to deliver a report containing potentially actionable genomic insights. The same task would require approximately 160 hours of manual curation and human analysis.
