Description

Steve answers questions about recent progress in AI/ML prediction of complex traits from DNA and applications in embryo selection.Highlights:
Overview of recent advances in trait prediction
Would cost savings from breast cancer early detection pay for genotyping of all women?
How does IVF work? Economics of embryo selection
Whole embryo genotyping increases IVF success rates (pregnancy per transfer) significantly
Future predictions
