Biggest-ever AI biology model writes DNA on demand

The model — which was trained on 128,000 genomes spanning the tree of life, from humans to single-celled bacteria and archaea — can write whole chromosomes and small genomes from scratch. It can also make sense of existing DNA, including hard-to-interpret ‘non-coding’ gene variants that are linked to disease.

Screening Mammography and Artificial Intelligence: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

A total of 13 studies were analyzed, with data extracted on study characteristics, population demographics, artificial intelligence algorithms, and key outcomes. Artificial intelligence-assisted readings in screening mammography were found to be comparable or superior to traditional double readings by radiologists, reducing unnecessary recalls, improving specificity, and in some cases increasing cancer detection rates.
