In today’s show, we talk with Kyle Fahr, the VP and Distinguished Scientist leading Illumina’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. "We lack a way of training genomics AI as readily as you would for natural language processing, says Fahr.  "There are vast amounts of data, but there are no labels, no supervision.  One of the most powerful tools that we’ve found is using clues from natural selection. Fahr says the company began the AI lab seven years ago when deep learning took off. Two of the team’s AI algorithms, PrimateAI-3D and SpliceAI, published in Cell and Nature Genetics, were among the first examples of deep learning algorithms in genomics to become widely used by clinical labs and researchers in interpreting variants of unknown significance.   We take a close look at Illumina’s work in AI and delve into the long-term impact of AI on genomics.

John Cumbers is back on the show to preview the annual SynBioBeta, the leading global conference for the synthetic biology crowd. This year’s show includes 18 tracks on AI, space, longevity, and DNA synthesis. Speakers will include Stephen Wolfram and Stephen Quake, who will discuss large language models and biology. While 2024 saw a total investment of over $6 billion (not as high as the pandemic year of 2021), John says the new technologies and startups keep coming. "We’re seeing just a ton of new entrepreneurs coming out of graduate and undergraduate programs and starting companies.” John is the founder and CEO of SynBioBeta which takes place May 6-9th in the San Jose Convention Center.
