AI in multiomics is a key innovation area in artificial intelligence
AI-assisted multiomics involves using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to integrate and analyze data from multiple omics sources, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The approach enables a comprehensive and personalized understanding of biological systems and disease mechanisms, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, and drug discovery.
GlobalData’s analysis also uncovers the companies at the forefront of each innovation area and assesses the potential reach and impact of their patenting activity across different applications and geographies. According to GlobalData, there are 220+ companies, spanning technology vendors, established pharmaceutical companies, and up-and-coming start-ups engaged in the development and application of AI in multiomics.
Key players in AI in multiomics – a disruptive innovation in the pharmaceutical industry
‘Application diversity’ measures the number of applications identified for each patent. It broadly splits companies into either ‘niche’ or ‘diversified’ innovators.
‘Geographic reach’ refers to the number of countries each patent is registered in. It reflects the breadth of geographic application intended, ranging from ‘global’ to ‘local’.
