Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can identify cancer-causing genes.
The AI tool, “Pivot”, can predict cancer-causing genes in an individual thus assisting in not only reducing the side-effects of drugs but also in better recovery for patients.
The AI prediction model has been built for three different types of cancer including Breast Invasive Carcinoma, Colon Adenocarcinoma and Lung Adenocarcinoma.
The tool is based on a machine learning model that classifies genes as tumour suppressor genes, oncogenes or neutral genes.
Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of cells that can occur due to mutations in oncogenes or by tumor suppressor genes or both.
