New AI System Learns Genomics 'Language' to Advance Gene Discovery
-
Researchers developed an AI system called Genomic Language Model (gLM) that can decipher the language of genomics and understand gene function and regulation.
-
gLM was trained on massive genomic datasets to learn the relationships between genes and their genomic context.
-
gLM can predict gene function, co-regulated gene modules, taxonomic information, and context-dependencies without relying on existing gene annotations.
-
Researchers suggest gLM represents a major advancement in integrating protein interactions and can uncover novel biology.
-
gLM may help accelerate discoveries of solutions for climate change, bioeconomy, and poorly annotated genomes.
