Researchers from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, have accomplished a world-first by processing one trillion points of genomic data through VariantSpark, an artificial intelligence-based platform, which can help pinpoint the location of specific disease-causing genes in the human genome.
The human genome is a person’s complete set of DNA, which contains more than three billion DNA base pairs.
CSIRO Bioinformatics Group leader Dr. Denis Bauer said artificial intelligence (AI) could g…
