Answer: (a)
Related facts:
- Researchers at IIT Madras have developed an AI tool called NBDriver (neighbourhood driver) for use in analysing cancer-causing mutations in cells.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven algorithm uses a technique that probes into DNA composition to pinpoint genetic alterations that are held responsible for cancer progression.
- Using simple AI techniques, the researchers developed a new prediction algorithm, NBDriver, and tested its performance on several open-source cancer mutation datasets.
- NBDriver (NEIGHBORHOOD Driver) is a tool used to differentiate between driver and passenger mutations using features derived from the neighborhood sequences of somatic mutations.
