The AI analyzed my whole genome in 30 minutes for about $5

A Stanford doctor gave the AI his own genome file and a 180 word prompt based on the framework his team published in 2009. In about 30 minutes for about $5, the AI matched the main findings of that team’s work, flagged genes that affect how he responds to some medicines, and warned that his file did not have enough data for disease risk scores.

How it works

  1. Writes a 180 word prompt from his team’s 2009 framework
  2. The AI works through his genome file and scientific databases for about 30 minutes
  3. It reports rare variant, medicine response and risk findings and warns where the data is too thin

Why it’s worth knowing

A job that took 30 people almost a year in 2009 was attempted at home in half an hour for about the price of a bottle of soda.
