Deep learning takes on tumours

Cancer biologists are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to deal with an explosive growth of data. The latest machine-learning techniques can find patterns that researchers might have missed. And increasingly, researchers are able to use off-the-shelf tools, rather than having to develop them in their labs. Applications range from predicting drug responses on the basis of a person’s cancer-genome sequence to assessing protein localization.
