DNAnexus Platform Offers Google-Developed DeepVariant

DNAnexus said it is making the Google-developed DeepVariant bioinformatics tool available on its cloud-based DNAnexus Platform through a pilot program. Launched last week , DeepVariant is a deep-learning technology designed to call genetic variants from next-generation sequencing data, using deep neural networks.DeepVariant applies the Inception TensorFlow framework, originally developed to perform image classification. The framework represents information as images similar to what a clinician w
