2023: a turning point for ML in life sciences
To our many customers and partners who work in Life Sciences, welcome to 2023, a year that I expect to be the turning point in how data science and machine learning (ML) accelerate development of new life-saving therapies. (I’ll share 2023 thoughts on Healthcare in an upcoming post.) The first reason I’m so optimistic is […]
Fast queries of scRNAseq datasets with Amazon Athena
Single cell RNA sequencing data has a growing role in disease research for finding both potential genetic factors and paths to new treatments. An important component of this process involves building maps of sequencing data with dimensionality reduction tools and querying specific subsets for visualization, but this can be slow due to the size of […]
