Details

Re:Pair Genomics Inc. is seeking to enhance its bioinformatics algorithms by integrating machine learning techniques. The project aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of genomic data analysis, which is crucial for identifying genetic variations and understanding complex biological processes. Learners will apply their machine learning knowledge to develop and refine components of an existing algorithm used in genomic data processing. The project will involve analyzing existing datasets, identifying patterns, and implementing machine learning models to optimize algorithm performance. This initiative provides an opportunity for learners to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field of bioinformatics. The project is designed to be completed by a team of learners specializing in computer science or bioinformatics, ensuring a focused and cohesive approach.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a summary report outlining the enhancements made to the algorithm, including the machine learning models implemented and their impact on performance. Additionally, learners will provide a presentation summarizing their findings and demonstrating the improved algorithm's capabilities. The final deliverables will also include the source code of the enhanced algorithm, along with documentation for future reference and potential further development.

Re:Pair Genomics uses AI to design compact synthetic promoters, which are DNA sequences required for gene therapies to target specific cell types. Rather than spending six months to a year to design and validate promoters manually, our algorithm can produce designs ready for testing within a day.
