ABSTRACT
As molecular and cellular technologies have advanced, the need to analyze and interpret the resulting vast and multi-modal data into actionable intelligence has become a rate-limiting factor in scientific advancement. While traditional knowledgebase-pathway tools and LLM-based AI tools provide a degree of support in data interpretation, both exhibit known limitations. Presented here is the CompBio multi-omic analysis platform built upon Memory-based Intelligent Reasoning System (MIRaS), an associative reasoning engine grounded in episodic and semantic memory, capable of inferring biological relationships directly from stored knowledge rather than from model training. The MIRaS system is not dependent on human-curated pathway knowledgebases, provides statistical rigor, does not suffer from hallucination, and produces fully traceable results, representing a number of significant advancements. Furthermore, substantial effort has been placed in the computer-human knowledge transfer components of the system to enable efficient interaction, interpretation, and learning. The system has undergone years of extensive testing, validation, and evolution in omics-based analysis with many associated publications in translational and human subjects research. These publications have covered numerous areas such as nutrition, immunology, infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, and degenerative diseases with many experimentally verified findings. The CompBio-MIRaS system described and assessed here is freely available to all academic and non-profit institutions.
