How machine learning could help develop cures for COVID-19 and other diseases
How machine learning could help develop cures for COVID-19 and other diseases This new technique to study complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and COVID-19 could lead to new drugs for these diseases The big idea We combined a machine learning algorithm with knowledge gleaned from hundreds of biological experiments to developa techniquethat allows biomedical researchers to figure out the functions of the proteins that turn genes on and off in cells, called transcription factors....
