Computer hardware maker Nvidia is staking out a larger role in genetic research as it undergoes a transformative shift thanks to pioneering efforts in artificial intelligence (AI). Developed in a joint effort with Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, a new Large Language Model named GenSLMs has drawn significant attention for its ability to generate gene sequences that closely mirror real-world variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. This suggests that AI can exhibit a sophisticated understanding of complex genetic patterns. GenSLMs can also distinguish between COVID variants thanks to its training on over 110 million genomes, enabling it to classify and cluster genome sequences.
Medicine-focused Large Language Models like GenSLMs, Ankh, and CancerGPT represent major advancements in modern genetic research. These AI systems learn from extensive textual datasets to predict and generate contextually relevant language patterns. In genetics, this translates to the ability to analyze and interpret complex genetic sequences, very similar to linguistic analysis. This innovative application of LLMs has opened a new chapter in genetics, where the deep understanding of genetic sequences leads to breakthroughs in identifying disease markers and advancing personalized medicine.
GenSLMs’ ability to forecast viral mutations opens new possibilities for vaccine development and treatment strategies for diseases like COVID-19, Nvidia claims. The applications of Ankh in drug development and CancerGPT in understanding cancer treatments are paving the way for more targeted and effective medical interventions.
