Artificial intelligence solved the riddle that has plagued scientists for 120 years Bashny.Net

Experts in the field of information technology, programmers and biologists from tufts University (Tufts University) has created a specialized computer system of artificial intelligence that was able to develop and prove his own scientific theory without any any help from people.





This system produced an analysis of all available data obtained during numerous studies of flatworm Planarian species, some functions of the body which has puzzled biologists for nearly 120 years.

Studies have shown that the Planarian worm's body has incredible abilities to regenerate. In the case of damage such worms are able to recover a fairly large fragments of their bodies, but how and why all this is happening, for scientists remained a complete mystery for a long time.

Computer, making the analysis of all available information gathered during previous studies, undertook the development of solutions that explain the mechanism of enhanced regeneration.





"The computer itself was modeled different versions of the networks formed by genes and proteins of the body of the worm. This was done up until the results of the networks based on the interaction of proteins and genetic information, was not begun in some measure to meet the practical research results. Every time the computer was able to achieve partial compliance, he introduced random changes in the genetic network and started the optimization process again. And the result of many iterations formed a core network of genetic relationships, which is fully consistent with the results of practical research."

The results of the artificial intelligence system was published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, developed a computer theory is the first in the world was a scientific theory developed by the artificial intelligence system.

It should be noted that the process of all calculations and the search for a basic genetic network, which was carried out by trial and error, took three days of hard work, a sufficiently powerful supercomputer. And as it turned out that the basis of an accelerated process of regeneration is made up of two protein molecules, the functions of which scientists had known previously, and two entirely new to scientists of the molecule.

Made artificial intelligence discovery represents the most accurate and comprehensive to date model of the process of regeneration of the organism on the example of a flat worm Planarian. This model is of great importance for further development of regenerative medicine, in addition, all of this demonstrates the great potential of computer systems artificial intelligence in the future will be able to solve many such problems, which are daunting for the people on the work scope and quantity of information being processed.published
