How AI Is Transforming Genomics

Advancements in whole genome sequencing have ignited a revolution in digital biology. Genomics programs across the world are gaining momentum as the cost of high-throughput, next-generation sequencing has declined. Whether used for sequencing critical-care patients with rare diseases or in population-scale genetics research, whole genome sequencing is becoming a fundamental step in clinical workflows and drug discovery. But genome sequencing is just the first step. Analyzing genome sequencing data requires accelerated compute, data science and AI to read and understand the genome.
