AI can speed up precision medicine, New York Genome Center-IBM Watson study shows
The potential for artificial intelligence in precision medicine is big, according to conclusions of a new study by the New York Genome Center and IBM. The results, published in the July 11 issue of Neurology Genetics, a journal of the American Academy of Neurology, showed that researchers at the New York Genome Center, Rockefeller University and other institutions – along with IBM – verified the potential of IBM Watson for Genomics to analyze complex genomic data from state-of-the-art DNA sequencing of whole genomes.
