NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – SingularityNet and Project Shivom are collaborating to combine blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and genomics for medical analytics, the companies said last week. SingularityNet focuses on providing a commercial marketplace for advanced AI solutions, while Project Shivom aims to harness blockchain technology for handling genomic information and analytics.
SingularityNet and Project Shivom are collaborating on a method of analysing genomic data without the need to view a person's entire genome or medical data. The researchers have developed an algorithm that can analyse DNA from just one cell type in order to identify genetic variants associated with disease.
