enGenome announces today at the American Society of Human Genetics Conference the release of VarChat: an open platform designed to be the first Generative AI variant assistant to deliver efficient literature review.

With the continuous surge of genomic research being published at unprecedented rates, keeping pace with the latest findings has never been more essential, especially for clinicians and researchers.

Striking the perfect balance between offering accurate and detailed genomic insights while ensuring readability for a diverse audience, including those without a deep genomic background, has remained a challenge. 

For this reason, the company proudly presents VarChat, a supportive tool that's accessible for free at varchat.engenome.com

Access VarChat

VarChat is a cutting-edge system built on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), a domain revolutionized by popular models like chatGPT. It has been meticulously designed to streamline the genomic variant interpretation process by searching and condensing the scientific literature available for each variant into a brief and informative text.

“At enGenome, we've been implementing AI for a long time, and now, it's the perfect moment to introduce GenAI to genomics. VarChat represents a significant step in our journey, as we strive to simplify the intricacies of genomic research, making it accessible to all”, affirms Ettore Rizzo, the company’s CEO.
