Our First AI Genomics Hackathon
On June 23rd, SVAI + Accel.ai + NF2 Project, are kicking off our first AI Genomics hackathon at Google Launchpad in San Francisco! We're also happy to announce the NCBI as a community partner. This event will focus on analyzing Genomic data and research publications using AI and other computational methods. We have a special opportunity to work with patient data from an ongoing medical case, provided by Onno Faber, a serial entrepreneur and NF2 Patient. This event kicks off our first open source medical AI community project and we're super excited for it!
Purpose
About the Dataset
Whole Genome sequence data set for NF2: a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow from Schwann cells. The dataset has a tumor/normal pair and a sibling. All three Whole Genome Sequences were done at 60-90X and available as .bam-files. The dataset was acquired in the context of finding the driver mutations for a particular NF2 patient. For registered participants, we will release the dataset 1-week prior to the start of the hackathon.
