<p><i>New AI algorithm accurately deciphers pathogenic regulatory genetic variants in the noncoding regions of the human genome at scale for the first time</i></p>
<p>SAN DIEGO, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) today unveiled PromoterAI, a new AI algorithm that accurately deciphers pathogenic regulatory genetic variants in the noncoding regions of the human genome. A study <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4438250-1&amp;h=2291622851&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.science.org%2Fdoi%2F10.1126%2Fscience.ads7373&amp;a=published+today">published today</a> in <i>Science</i> illustrates how this deep learning technology discovered regulatory variants in noncoding "promoter" segments that contribute up to 6% of the genetic causes of rare diseases. By turning data into insights, this technology is expected to help researchers accelerate new breakthroughs in diagnosis for rare diseases.</p>
<p>Currently, only about 30% of rare disease patients receive an accurate diagnosis from exome sequencing. For many patients, insights may be hidden in what are known as "noncoding regions," which comprise over 98% of the genome and may hold the key to increasing the diagnostic rate.</p>
<p>PromoterAI will be accessible through Illumina Connected Software and it is available today as part of DRAGEN&#x2122; secondary analysis. Precomputed PromoterAI scores for all human promoter single-nucleotide variants are freely available for academic and noncommercial research use. Illumina Connected Software supports seamless integration with next-generation sequencing and array workflows for genomics and multiomics. Researchers, bioinformaticians, and clinical geneticists can use Illumina Connected Software to prioritize variants that are important to a case, gain critical insights, and accelerate their precision medicine dry lab operations.</p>

What 5 Analyst Ratings Have To Say About NexPoint Residential

BBWI

Bath & Body Works shares are trading lower after the company issued Q2 EPS guidance below estimates.

<p>In the current session, the stock is trading at $555.50, after a <strong>0.56%</strong> spike. Over the past month, <strong>Intuitive Surgical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>)</strong> stock increased by <strong>7.71%</strong>, and in the past year, by <strong>38.53%</strong>. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.</p>
<p>

<h3>Intuitive Surgical P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
<p>The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. </p>
<p>Intuitive Surgical has a better P/E ratio of <strong>80.88</strong> than the aggregate P/E ratio of <strong>53.03</strong> of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that Intuitive Surgical Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. </p>
<p>
</p><p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748541663_1.png" alt="Guage" /></p>

<p>In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions. </p>
