AI has significantly advanced the field of paleontology, especially in the analysis of ancient DNA (aDNA). AI continues to revolutionize the field of paleontology by enabling more accurate and efficient analysis of ancient DNA, providing deeper insights into the evolutionary history of life on Earth. Here are some ways AI is used, along with frameworks and models:
Applications of AI in Paleontology DNA Analysis
- DNA Sequencing and Assembly:
- Machine Learning Algorithms: AI algorithms help in assembling fragmented DNA sequences. Tools like neural networks can predict sequence overlaps and aid in assembling the genome.
- Frameworks: Tools like SPAdes (St. Petersburg genome assembler) utilize AI techniques for assembling genomes from short-read sequences.
- Pattern Recognition and Classification:
- Deep Learning Models: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are employed to identify patterns and classify sequences. This is particularly useful in distinguishing between contamination and genuine aDNA sequences.
- Frameworks: TensorFlow and PyTorch are commonly used frameworks for developing and training deep learning models.
- Phylogenetic Analysis:
- AI Algorithms: AI helps in constructing phylogenetic trees by analyzing genetic similarities and differences among species. Reinforcement learning and other optimization algorithms can enhance the accuracy of these trees.
- Frameworks: BEAST (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees) integrates AI for evolutionary analysis.
- Anomaly Detection:
- Machine Learning Models: Unsupervised learning models, such as clustering algorithms, help identify unusual patterns in DNA sequences that might indicate evolutionary events or mutations.
- Frameworks: Scikit-learn provides a range of machine learning algorithms suitable for such analyses.
Examples of AI Frameworks and Models
- TensorFlow and Keras:
- Used for building and training neural networks.
- Applications: Sequence classification, phylogenetic analysis.
- PyTorch:
- Popular for its dynamic computational graph and ease of use.
- Applications: DNA sequence analysis, pattern recognition.
- Scikit-learn:
- Offers a wide range of machine learning algorithms.
- Applications: Clustering, classification, anomaly detection.
- SPAdes:
- A genome assembler that uses AI techniques to assemble genomes from short-read sequences.
- Applications: DNA sequencing and assembly.
- BEAST:
- An advanced tool for Bayesian analysis of molecular sequences.
- Applications: Phylogenetic analysis, evolutionary studies.
Specific Case Studies
- Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA Analysis: AI was used to differentiate between modern human contamination and genuine ancient DNA sequences, improving the accuracy of sequencing results. Researchers from Estonia and Spain used deep learning to build a model for human evolution. They already knew Neanderthals and Denisovan bred with humans, but their programs uncovered something new: a third species that joined the hominoid party.

- Woolly Mammoth Genome Reconstruction: Machine learning algorithms helped assemble the fragmented DNA of woolly mammoths, enabling a better understanding of their evolution and eventual extinction.

Artificial intelligence finds T. rex couldn't run
According to this study's computer simulation the T. rex may not have been as agile as movies like "Jurassic Park" have suggested.

AI Model to Predict Dinosaur Hunting Grounds - IBM Power AI Vision GIS use case
Sons, Ben and Sam Chesebrough , get excited about Jurassic bones we have found! Next we built an AI model to make the process more efficient! AI is transforming every industry, how about paleontology? Using PowerAI Vision Robert Chesebrough and Chris Konarski built and field tested our first AI model to find Jurassic dinosaur fossils. Using PowerAI Vision and training off of aerial photos of known finds we built a predictive model that increases significantly the odds of finding bone. A field test was performed in a New Mexico Wilderness on a mesa that scored high probability and over 50 bones were seen in 8 hours! The enterprise real use cases are endless: oil and gas, solar, wind, farming, mining. Join us in one of our hashtag IBM systems co-creation discovery labs and we will help you on the journey.

The Most Important Discoveries in Paleontology - Part 1
Henry the PaleoGuy Paleontology is an ever-evolving science, and new discoveries are often brought to our light. The 19th Century brought many fascinating animals to our attention, from the titanic Diplocodus to the birdlike Archaeopteryx, and the methods of mapping out our past were also developed and put into use at this time. I hope you enjoy!
