The new AI-driven tech is also able to sequence a whole genome in 30 minutes.
NVIDIA is deepening its foothold in healthcare after teaming up with Harvard University on a new AI-based toolkit designed to help researchers gain more access and insights into DNA. Researchers also boast of being able to run a whole genome analysis in 30 minutes.
The new tool, dubbed AtacWorks, is able to identify specific sequencing data and pinpoint areas with easy-access DNA, meaning functional DNA that isn’t surrounded by proteins.
According to NVIDIA, “cells pull out only the subsection of genetic apparel that [they need] to function, with each cell type — such as liver, blood or skin cells — activating different genes.” Additionally, DNA...
