MNM's platform ARETE works!

Krzysztof Bokiej - Head of Platform and Pipelines at MNM - is a speaker at the most important Machine Learning conference in Poland.

Almost a week has passed since the Europe Biobank Week 2021, and yet we are still impressed! We have attended great lectures, in which the speakers approached the topic of biobanking from different perspectives.

With entire genomes at hand, scientists can pinpoint DNA fragments responsible for different cancers and predict patient responses to cancer treatments. However, the sheer volume of whole-genome data makes it difficult to encode the characteristics of genomic variants as features for machine learning algorithms.

In the Perspective work-issued today, we highlight the possible genetic background of COVID-19 interindividual variability, ranging from asymptomatic infection to life-threatening disease.
