Scientists create an AI project that can “read” DNA language 22:07

Scientists from the Center for Biotechnology at the Technical University of Dresden have developed the GROVER project, based on artificial intelligence algorithms that analyze genetic DNA as text. Research results published In the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

Scientists explained that human genome analysis and personalized medicine have an important place in modern science. Since the structure of DNA was first discovered, researchers have tried to analyze the information contained in DNA. Scientists realized that only a small part of the genome contains genes responsible for protein synthesis.

GROVER’s innovative model has been tested to be highly accurate in predicting downstream DNA elements and extracting important biological data such as gene promoters (DNA nucleotide sequences needed to make RNA molecules) and protein-DNA interaction sites. In addition, the model can also discover epigenetic processes occurring outside of DNA.

To train GROVER, a special dictionary was developed based on the AI ​​algorithms required for data compression. Such a dictionary allows the model to analyze human DNA as text.

According to scientists, this project opens new horizons in understanding the genetic code. It determines the biological individuality of a person and his susceptibility to various diseases.

Previously They were found Common DNA replication mechanisms in humans and yeast.
