Can I give you my genome? Or will I be able to reproduce your methods from this site?
- maxander 9y agoThis is a course on a fairly novel field of research, not a method to do anything remotely consumer-facing.
- nextos 9y agoI disagree! It's a fantastic domain for startups! Nanopore is readily available. I have sequenced stuff in my kitchen, and I'm a computer scientist.
- alsocasey 9y agoI haven't looked into their new minion much yet, but how cheap are really talking about?
- maxander 9y agoDNA sequencing is mature and, if anything, almost getting to be late in the game for new startup entries. Determining gene function through ML methods is a whole different thing, and that's what I, and the OP, was talking about. Are we all responding to the same article here?
- sinab 9y agoI think there is an important distinction between sequencing a genome and then using ML methods to extract meaning from it. Sequencing (has traditionally) been hard but is now more of a tractable problem [1, 2]. To answer your question, if you have your genome and a dataset of known genomes marked with functions according to regions, then you could probably perform an interesting analysis..
