New AI methods for analyzing genomes have identified 690 genes associated with ALS.

“We came up with new ways of analyzing genomes, >> and we applied it to ALS for reasons we thought might work. Um, here I just had, you know, an amazing posttock uh Saison and and a great collaborator Jonathan Cooper Knock who uh basically sort of said Mike this is a great problem to apply these new methods we had for analyzing so there were seven genes known and we wound up finding 690 genes just and that that's true with these new AI methods we have for analyzing genomes and it explains a lot more what's called the heritability of the disease”
