Nvidia, Harvard Researchers Use Artificial Intelligence To Find Active Areas In Cell DNA
Researchers from Nvidia and Harvard are publishing research this week on a new way they’ve applied deep learning to epigenomics — the study of modifications on the genetic material of a cell. Using a neural network originally developed for computer vision, the researchers have developed a deep learning toolkit that can help scientists study rare…
