IIT Madras study on Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model aims to develop an easy-to-use web interface that will help cancer researchers. It also aims to make further studies on mutations. The study on Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model will also be a part of the broader cancer genomic sequence analysis which is being developed by IBSE and RBCDSAI.   

1. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence-based Mathematical Model. The model intends to identify Cancer-causing alterations in cells.

2. A relatively unexplored technique of leveraging DNA composition has been used to pinpoint genetic alterations responsible for cancer.  

3. Using sophisticated AI techniques, the researchers developed a novel prediction algorithm, NBDriver, and tested its performance on several open-source cancer mutation datasets.
 
4. According to the team, cancer is caused due to the uncontrolled growth of cells driven mainly by genetic alterations.
