There can be plenty of prior art; however, AI can democratize that knowledge. There are many things it's helped me accomplish which are trivial to people who are far more knowledgeable than me.
- 331c8c71 4mo agoI am not sure what specifically you mean by "AI" here but it's a bit naive (no offence) to think the field is so dumb that it haven't been looking at "AI" for a few years already. See https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.02.560464v1 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.10.02.560464v1 for instance nostos/limbus, genoox, engenome, congenica are a few companies/products that I have heard about and have been around for years (the last one was defunct from what I heard last however). Disclaimer: not affiliated to any of these.
- abirch 4mo agoI thought that the author had used AI to vibe code the software to help him look through the genomic data "Like all of the others, this WGS came back non-diagnostic. Unlike the others, my heartbreak had passed the point of hopelessness and I was ready to do something. I contacted every lab we had worked with and requested access to all genomics files. I was going to figure this out myself. "After a few days, my initial results shocked me. The prototype I built not only accomplished my original goal of confirming that Warren seemed healthy (spoiler: everything is fine), but it found the genetic mutation that took our first son Owen’s life. How could something I built so quickly outperform the top sequencing lab in the country?"
