University of Queensland develops AI-powered cancer genomics platform
The University of Queensland, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, has developed an AI-driven genomics platform to study how DNA is copied in cancer cells and disrupted during chemotherapy.
The system, called DNAscent, combines AI with nanopore DNA sequencing to more precisely measure DNA replication stress, which is a key hallmark of cancer, and identify biomarkers that could help predict tumour responses to chemotherapy.
Researchers said the platform, which builds on earlier methods, could ultimately support the development of personalised cancer treatments with fewer toxic side effects.
