πŸ“‘ Table of Contents


🌍 Addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals

This project directly contributes to multiple UN SDGs:

SDG Goal Our Impact
πŸ₯ SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being Democratizing genetic analysis, reducing diagnosis time from weeks to seconds
🏭 SDG 9 Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure Cloud-native AI platform fostering healthcare innovation
βš–οΈ SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities Making precision genomics accessible to underserved regions
πŸŽ“ SDG 4 Quality Education Interactive genomics learning platform for students and researchers

🚨 The Problem

Current State of Genetic Analysis:

Every day, millions of people undergo genetic testing, but interpreting DNA mutations remains one of medicine's biggest challenges:

  • ⏰ Time Delays: Current variant interpretation takes 2-4 weeks
  • πŸ’° High Costs: Expert analysis costs $200-500 per variant
  • 🌍 Limited Access: Advanced genomics restricted to major medical centers
  • ❓ Uncertain Results: 40-50% of variants classified as "Uncertain Significance"
  • πŸ”„ Inconsistent Classifications: Different labs often provide conflicting interpretations

Real-World Impact:

A single nucleotide change: A β†’ T
Location: BRCA1 gene, chromosome 17
Result: 85% increased breast cancer risk
Current wait time: 14-28 days
Our solution: <30 seconds

This delay can be life-threatening for patients needing immediate treatment decisions.


πŸ’‘ Our Solution

Variant Effect Predictor with Evo2

A full-stack web application that leverages cutting-edge AI to predict DNA mutation pathogenicity in real-time, making precision genomics accessible worldwide.

πŸ”¬ How It Works

  1. AI-Powered Analysis: Uses Evo2 large language model(LLM) trained on millions of genomic sequences
  2. Real-Time Predictions: GPU-accelerated inference delivers results in <30 seconds
  3. Clinical Validation: Side-by-side comparison with ClinVar database annotations
  4. Global Accessibility: Serverless deployment eliminates infrastructure barriers
  5. Evidence-Based Reports: Downloadable PDF reports for medical records

🎯 Key Innovation

Unlike traditional tools that rely on conservation scores or statistical models, our platform uses Evo2, a breakthrough language model(LLM) that "reads" DNA sequences like natural language, understanding complex genomic patterns and regulatory elements.

⚠️ IMPORTANT DEPLOYMENT NOTICE ⚠️

🚨 ATTENTION: Limited Demo Credits Available on Modal.com 🚨

🚨 Our live demo is running on a limited number of free credits on Modal.com 🚨

About "Cold Starts"

The very first analysis after a period of inactivity will experience a "cold start" and may take 40-60 seconds. This is because the serverless container needs to spin up a GPU.

Subsequent analyses will be extremely fast (2-3 seconds). Please be patient on your first try!

If the demo credits are exhausted, the API will not function. Please contact us at ayushkumr1991@gmail.com, and we will gladly provide a new endpoint. Thank you for your understanding!
