Bioinformatics and Biomedical Informatics with ChatGPT: Year One Review
This review addresses the need for a comprehensive overview of ChatGPT's impact in bioinformatics and biomedical informatics for researchers and practitioners, but it is incremental as it summarizes existing work.
The paper surveyed the applications of ChatGPT in bioinformatics and biomedical informatics across areas like omics and drug discovery, highlighting its current strengths and limitations to guide future developments.
The year 2023 marked a significant surge in the exploration of applying large language model (LLM) chatbots, notably ChatGPT, across various disciplines. We surveyed the applications of ChatGPT in bioinformatics and biomedical informatics throughout the year, covering omics, genetics, biomedical text mining, drug discovery, biomedical image understanding, bioinformatics programming, and bioinformatics education. Our survey delineates the current strengths and limitations of this chatbot in bioinformatics and offers insights into potential avenues for future developments.
