AI identifies oncogenes in cancer cells, could help deliver personalised cancer treatments: Study
London, Feb 5 (PTI) Researchers have leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) technology to identify genes critical to a cancer cell’s survival, and could help deliver personalised cancer patient treatments, according to a new study.
They analysed different types of cancer cells to understand different gene dependencies for identifying the genes, the study said.
Researchers at the University of Sussex, UK, have done this by developing a prediction algorithm that works out which genes are essential in the cell, by analysing the genetic changes in the tumour. This can be used to identify actionable targets that in time could guide oncologists to personalise cancer patient treatments, the study said.
