Scientists trained AI to predict gene activity, a potentially powerful tool

Scientists led by a team at Columbia University have trained a model to predict how the genes inside a cell will drive its behavior, which could be a powerful tool with the potential to broaden our understanding of cancer and genetic diseases, and even to pave the way for cell-specific gene therapies to treat them.
The researchers trained the new artificial intelligence tool, an algorithm dubbed General Expression Transformer, or GET, using an approach similar to that used by creators of the language program ChatGPT.
