A new algorithm could drive breakthroughs in understanding cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and other potentially fatal conditions.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo developed the machine learning algorithm, called RNovA, to detect changes in the proteins in human cells.
Proteins do much of the work inside cells, and after they are made our bodies can chemically modify them in many ways. These changes, known as post-translational modifications, or PTMs, help regulate many cellular functions. Changes in PTMs have been linked to multiple serious diseases.
