Gene Chips Accurately Diagnose Four Complex Childhood Cancers

Artificial Intelligence Used With Gene Expression Microarrays For The First Time Bethesda, MD - Scientists at the National Human Genome Research Institute and Lund University in Sweden have developed a method of genetic fingerprinting that can tell the difference between several closely related types of childhood cancer. The method combines, for the first time, the cutting edge technology of gene chips with a form of artificial intelligence called an artificial neural network (ANN). The neural network automatically analyzes the large amounts of data produced by the gene chip to make a highly accurate diagnosis.
