Google Research announces DeepSomatic, an AI-powered tool published in Nature Biotechnology that uses convolutional neural networks to identify cancer-related somatic variants in tumor cells from sequencing data. The tool works across major sequencing platforms and is made openly available to the research community.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://research.google/blog/using-ai-to-identify-genetic-variants-in-tumors-with-deepsomatic/:

> our new paper, “DeepSomatic: Accurate somatic small variant discovery for multiple sequencing technologies” in Nature Biotechnology presents a tool that leverages machine learning to identify genetic variants in tumor cells more accurately than current methods.
