挖掘成千上万的生物数据集以寻找新的线索
Mine biological datasets for new leads with thousands of agents
OpenAI描述了在复杂的生物数据上运行成千上万的AI代理以发现新的研究线索.
做了什么
OpenAI, PerturbAI and Scripps Research split analysis of an existing whole-brain CRISPR atlas of mouse brain cells across thousands of GPT-Rosalind agents. Each agent took one gene disruption, analyzed the cellular responses, searched the literature and proposed mechanisms. Their reports were merged into a searchable reasoning atlas. Blinded human experts then judged the outputs.
效果如何
The run took 32 minutes, against an estimated months to a year for a person. Experts preferred its reports over a single agent's 75% of the time, and it surfaced leads on Tsc1/Tsc2 and DCTN1-linked cholesterol. These leads still need lab testing.
值得注意
A single agent given the same workload cited only 11 references, against more than 700 for the distributed agents, so splitting work per perturbation mattered.
试试这个 Prompt
I have a dataset of [type of biological data, e.g. gene expression CSVs] in [folder path]. Write and run analysis scripts to look for patterns, outliers, or correlations that could be new research leads about [your research question]. Finish with a ranked list of the five most promising leads, each with the evidence behind it, the method used, and caveats, and save the scripts so I can rerun them.
