Not sure if OP is actually in here, but anybody interested in this topic should absolutely watch this talk by Matt Might:

It’s a fascinating story similar to this one, but using “old” AI. The dude spent years learning genetics, and built a program called “medikanren” with Will Byrd. It’s p much a huge graph database of facts they extracted from academic papers, and query using logic programming. It’s a great story

Thanks for sharing (I am OP). Lots of really interesting computational problems in genetics. The original speech recognition models, HMMs, diffused to genetics ahead of many other fields with which we associate machine learning. Look forward to watching this tech talk.
