Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Fujitsu supercomputer helps perform cancer gene network analysis
Tokyo: Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Fujitsu Laboratories Limited have recently completed, in less than a day, estimation of the network that represents the influence relationship between genes and prediction of their relationship with infiltration and metastasis based on genes highly likely to be involved in cancer development.
TMDU and Fujitsu achieved this leveraging Fujitsu Laboratories' explainable AI technology "Deep Tensor" with the world's fastest supercomputer, Fugaku, which was jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu. The project was conceived under the theme of "elucidation of the cause and diversity of cancer using large-scale data analysis and AI technology" as part of the supercomputer Fugaku achievement acceleration program being promoted by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology from May 2020 to March 2023.
