Talk
Beyond Genomics- Revealing Hidden Layers of Biology with AI
This talk describes a practical application of genomic knowledge. It describes how circulating cell-free nucleic acids, discovered in 1948, have been combined with high-throughput sequencing to develop non-invasive diagnostic tests that have replaced traditional biopsies for millions of patients in fields including pregnancy, transplant medicine, infectious disease, and cancer.n patterns.
