How Do You Train Genomics AI? On Natural Selection Itself, Says VP of Illumina's AI Lab, Kyle Farh

In this podcast, Mendelspod’s Theral Timpson speaks to Kyle Farh, VP and distinguished scientist leading Illumina’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. Farh says the company began the AI lab seven years ago when deep learning was just taking off. Two of the team’s AI algorithms, PrimateAI-3D and SpliceAI, published in Cell and Nature Genetics, were among the first examples of deep learning algorithms in genomics. This interview takes a close look at Illumina’s activities in AI and delves into the long-term impact of AI on genomics.
