Project Summary:

In the past, genomics sequencing encountered challenges in error correction of readings that could introduce errors and complicate downstream analyses. While deep neural networks made impressive progress in this field, errors in sequence readings remained a major concern [1]. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) could be effective for error correction, inconsistent results could arise depending on sequence length. Thus, error correction remained an open issue in genomics sequencing that required innovative solutions [1-4]. Quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) showed promise for addressing this challenge because they could perform complex computations in parallel and potentially leverage quantum entanglement to enhance feature detection and classification [5]. The project aimed to explore the use of quantum neural networks (QNNs) for correcting sequencing errors in genomics. A QNN architecture was developed specifically for error correction in genomic sequences and trained on a large dataset with known errors. Afterwards, the GPU-Accelerated QNN's performance was evaluated on a separate set of genomic sequences with known errors. The accuracy and computational performance of the QNN-based method was also assessed against other traditional error-correction methods.
