NCI-funded researchers have developed an advanced chatbot that could help you—a cancer researcher—study proteomic data.

The chatbot leverages data samples from both The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia. The chatbot is outfitted with technical features such as a real-time, conversational user interface; prompts (the computer processes natural language); large language models; code generation; and plugins (for data visualization and analysis). All of this makes for a tool that’s approachable and easy to use (whether you’re an early-career investigator or a seasoned researcher).

Put the data and functionality together, and DrBioRight 2.0 stands to be a powerful tool that’s expected to help drive the next generation of data analysis and data sharing.
