While genetic studies have mapped more than 100,000 disease-associated variants in the human genome, we do not know in which cells the majority of these variants are active. Human Cell Atlas will let us know in which cells these variations occur. This project will also advance the applications of ML/AI in disease understanding, epigenetics, drug discovery and many fields.

Fascinating to see the latest human cell atlas efforts published demonstrating the innovation on analytical side (e.g. single cell multi omics method, atlas scalable analysis framework, etc) where we see more and more emerging applied AI/ML based models and also studies with more functional understanding and insights generated around potential of these atlases in hypothesis generation, disease understanding and drug discovery. In current times of high-throughput data era, we need more sound investments and efforts in setting up infrastructure & pipelines for analysis and maintaining them as these are highly complex data that needs high compute & storage. These will be needed else we will not be able to reap in the best out of them specially when we want to think of AI-enabled biomedicine or drug discovery. Among many applications, one of the best thing about these organ specific atlases are to help & guide improved in-vitro experiment efforts with refinement given the potential now of using in-silico perturbational models with AI. We are already seeing some of it and more to come in future but nonetheless this has potential implications to transform target validation, screening & beyond but specifically in cutting down timelines given the catalogue & dictionary of cells one is generating. Hoping these studies will encourage more such efforts and exciting transformative science in the next years. Congratulations to all involved with these efforts across academia and industry. 😃🎉

The Future of Bioinformatics – AI and Single-Cell Technologies Bioinformatics is at the forefront of innovation, and as it increasingly integrates with AI and single-cell technologies, the potential for breakthroughs in precision medicine is greater than ever. 💡 Key Trends I’m Excited About: AI-Driven Variant Interpretation – Machine learning models are transforming how we analyze genomic variants, enabling faster and more accurate predictions of pathogenic mutations. Single-Cell Multiomics – Unveiling cellular heterogeneity at unprecedented resolution is unlocking insights into cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune responses. Large-Scale Genomic Datasets – With initiatives like the UK Biobank and FinnGen, massive datasets are fueling discovery and personalized therapeutic approaches. 🌱 I believe the next few years will shape how we understand and treat diseases at the molecular level. Would love to connect with others exploring these exciting frontiers! 👉 What trends do you think will define the future of bioinformatics?

What if we could compress a century of medical breakthroughs into a single decade? What if your children grew up in a world where cancer was as rare as smallpox is today? What if we could extend human lifespan to 150 years - not through science fiction, but through accelerated biological discovery? These are part of the thesis Dario Amodei (Anthropic/Claude) lists in his fascinating piece about AI's potential to revolutionise biological discoveries, and it draws a very optimistic view about our future. The perspective challenges the common view that AI in biology is just another data analysis tool. Instead, we should see AI as a virtual biologist - one that can design experiments, control lab robots, invent new measurement techniques, and direct research programs. This shift in thinking opens up possibilities that seem almost science fiction, yet are grounded in current tech trajectories. The most compelling argument is about breakthrough discoveries. Dario points here to tech like CRISPR, mRNA vaccines, and advanced microscopy techniques. These rare but transformative innovations have driven over 50% of biological progress.He suggests we could increase their discovery rate by 10x or more with AI, effectively compressing 50-100 years of progress into 5-10 years. What makes this prediction credible is the nature of these discoveries. Many weren't the result of massive, well-funded projects, but rather came from creative connections between existing knowledge. If we consider CRISPR, it was based on a bacterial immune system known since the 1980s, but it took 25 years for someone to realise its potential for gene editing. AI could excel at making these connections across vast amounts of biological knowledge. Dario thinks potential impact on human health will result in: -Prevention and treatment of nearly all natural infectious diseases - Elimination of most cancers (95% reduction in both mortality & incidence) - Effective cures for genetic diseases through improved CRISPR - Prevention of Alzheimer's - Significant advances in treating diabetes, obesity, and heart disease - Enhanced biological freedom - greater control over weight, fertility, and other biological processes - Potential doubling of human lifespan to 150 years Dario thinks that healthcare isn't just changing - it's being reimagined. And while challenges around equal access remain, we could be the generation that witnesses the most dramatic transformation in human health in history. ☀️Future does look bright.
