AI intraoperative classification of central nervous system tumors based on simulated nanopore sequencing
J. de Ridder and colleagues conducted a study on the development and use of a neural network classifier called Sturgeon for classifying central nervous system (CNS) tumors during surgery. They have recently published their work in Nature (DOI:10.1038/s41586-023-06615-2). The team addressed the limitations of current methods for determining precise tumor types prior to surgery and explored the potential benefits of using rapid nanopore sequencing to obtain a methylation profile during surgery.
