Google AI Tools for Genomics and Species Conservation

For more than a decade, Google researchers have been redefining the scientifically impossible. From flood forecasting to brain mapping to our most recent announcement of preserving the genetic code of 13 new endangered species of animals. Learn how ten years of AI innovation for genomics at @GoogleResearch are contributing to this goal. —DeepConsensus sits at the instrument level, removing sequencing errors at the source to produce more of the high-quality data needed for genome assembly. —DeepVariant finds genetic variants. For example, the University of Otago used it to analyze the genome of every living kākāpō, powering the precise breeding plan that is currently pulling the species back from extinction. —DeepPolisher helps make sure the assembled genome get 99.999%+ accuracy. Important for tasks like finding gene models that matter for disease. Learn more (and enjoy some adorable animal photos) here:
