Genomics is enabling more individualized treatment by providing insight into which genes contribute to various medical conditions.
For example, scientists are currently using genomics to understand how Covid-19 spreads and affects the immune system. This information could help with vaccine development.
A single human genome sequence generates between 300GB to 1TB of data. Technological improvements have driven down the costs of sequencing — a historically expensive process — and caused an explosion in genomic data over the past decade. This has created multiple opportunities for artificial intelligence in the space.
Companies are working to commercialize AI-based genomics solutions to develop better pharmaceuticals, power more accurate disease diagnosis, and help physicians identify the most effective treatments.
