Machine learning’s growing importance in researching cells

Drug Target Review

Another good example is really any process optimization / screening domain, whether it’s cloning screening, media formulation, drug screens, etc. Ultimately, multi-omics represents an opportunity to generate high-fidelity, richly informative datasets that are often internally orthogonal. So why doesn’t everyone do it?
