AI-based model may help in the timely prescription of drugs
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a mathematical model to identify cancer-causing alterations in cells. The algorithm, driven by artificial intelligence, uses an unexplored technique of leveraging DNA composition to pinpoint genetic alterations responsible for cancer progression. Although DNA sequencing has revolutionised the area of cancer research, the complexity and size of the sequencing datasets pinpointing the exact changes from the genomes of cancer patients is difficult.More Related News
