Asians remain under-represented in genomic databases. Here we characterized clinically significant variants in three major Asian ancestries and show that self-reported race/ethnicity is often confounded by cryptic admixture. #genomics #precisionmedicine

Nice example. AI sifts through 5 million genetic variants to find approximately 700,000 rare ones; 962 are known to cause diseases; AI identifies one as the most likely culprit; the variant is rare occurring in less than 0.01% of the population. See photo

This is crazy. Study shoes three people in a conference room over 2 hours can result in a Co2 level that can impair cognitive functioning. Ie. If you’re making decisions at the end of the meeting, you’re mentally less qualified to do so.
