Loop wants a person behind every AI-assisted research result
Ongoing Science presents Loop, software intended to keep research samples, analysis runs, papers and grants in one shared record, with people checking results.
- For
- Research teams tracking AI-assisted analyses
- Worth noticing
- The demo shows a rerun changing manuscript values from 1,212 to 1,146 genes, with the earlier draft attributed to a named checker.
Field notes
The displayed project follows a transcriptomics workflow from sample QC and filtering through DESeq2, pathway enrichment and a manuscript figure. Its interface ties analysis settings to numbered runs, while a task list records a pending rerun and a report deadline. The demonstration also shows a manuscript’s gene counts changing after that rerun, with prior values and a named checker retained in the version history. Ongoing Science invites labs to request a pilot; the page does not establish that the demo is a live deployment.
