In the next 24 months, Mr. Frey said Deep Genomics expects to be able to generate a library of 1,000 oligonucleotide compounds that can be used in different ways, from in-house development of the company’s own drugs to research collaborations and preclinical testing ...

By 2050, many of us will have had our genes sequenced making it far easier to identify and treat genetic disorders, which presently affect some 350m people worldwide. In a different building in Toronto’s Mars Discovery District, another pioneer in the field of artificial ...

The next blockbuster drug could be developed with help from machine learning techniques.

Deep Genomics, a Canadian company that uses machine learning to trace potential genetic causes for disease, announced Tuesday that it’s getting into drug development. It joins a growing list of AI ...

Genome biology, as a field, is generating torrents of data. You will soon be able to sequence your genome using a cell-phone size device for less than a trip to the corner store. And yet, the genome is only part of the story: there exists ...

Scientists all over the country are pushing for new ways to understand genomic data... Making sense of the links within such vast stores of data will require technologies that are only now becoming powerful enough to help...

Deep Genomics has an aggressive science and technology roadmap for building a computational system that links together many components that account for different cellular processes.

Think about the Google search engine, but for human mutations...

A University of Toronto computer scientist known for combining artificial intelligence with big data genomics is launching a company that could create a roadmap for DNA-based therapy. The company, called Deep Genomics, is set to launch on Wednesday.

It will be wading in to the ...

Tests on human genes are expensive and controversial, and no one is quite sure whether gene changes will have their desired effect. Now the Canadian startup Deep Genomics claims it has developed a computer program that can play out the different possible effects of genetic ...
