    DeepSomatic method improves detection of cancer mutations

    Study combines machine learning with expanded genetic training sets A new machine learning method called DeepSomatic can significantly improve the detection of genetic mutations potentially related to cancer, according to a study published in Nature Biotechnology. Genetic mutations that are acquired during a person’s life, called somatic variants, are often associated with tumors. Detecting these variants…
