Illumina Introduces a New AI algorithm PromoterAI: Stock to Gain?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Illumina Inc. (ILMN - Free Report) recently introduced PromoterAI, a new AI algorithm that accurately deciphers pathogenic regulatory genetic variants in the noncoding regions of the human genome. PromoterAI turns data into insights to help researchers accelerate new breakthroughs in diagnosis for rare diseases. It is the latest addition to the company’s artificial intelligence ("AI") and software portfolio.
ILMN Stock’s Likely Trend Following the News
Since the announcement on May 29, ILMN’s shares declined 0.2%, closing at $84.28 yesterday.
The company is breaking new ground with AI technology. In 2019, the Illumina Artificial Intelligence Lab released SpliceAI, a deep learning tool for interpreting noncoding cryptic splice mutations. In 2023, Illumina released PrimateAI-3D, which predicts the pathogenicity of protein-coding variants based on evolutionary conservation and protein structure. PromoterAI is the latest genomic AI algorithmic innovation from Illumina. As a result, we expect the news to boost market sentiment toward ILMN stock.
Illumina presently has a market capitalization of $13.34 billion. The company’s earnings yield of 5.1% sits comfortably against the industry’s -31.7%. It delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 56.4%.
About ILMN’s PromoterAI
Built on state-of-the-art deep learning neural networks, PromoterAI brings unprecedented precision to the interpretation of promoter variants. With PromoterAI applied to whole-genome sequencing ("WGS") data analysis, clinical researchers are empowered to better understand the etiology and drug target potential for rare genetic diseases, common diseases and oncology.
PromoterAI will be accessible through Illumina Connected Software, and it is now available as part of DRAGEN secondary analysis. Precomputed PromoterAI scores for all human promoter single-nucleotide variants are freely available for academic and noncommercial research use.
Relevance of ILMN’s PromoterAI
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.
Promoters are key noncoding elements that define where transcription of a gene begins. When promoters are disrupted by genetic mutations, it can have profound consequences for downstream gene expression. The PromoterAI algorithm interprets the genetic sequence of promoters, thus opening the door to precise diagnoses for more patients with rare diseases.

Industry Prospects Favor ILMN
Per Dimension Market Research’s report, AI in the genomics market is estimated to be valued at $1.40 billion in 2025. It is further anticipated to reach $44.93 billion by 2034 at a compound annual growth rate of 47%. Key factors driving the market growth are increasing demand for precision medicine, rising R&D expenditure and growing demand for effective handling tools for managing large data.
Another Development by Illumina
On Tuesday, Illumina received approval from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for TruSightTM Oncology (TSO) Comprehensive for Class III/IV Medical Device (Specially Controlled Medical Device). The TSO Comprehensive is the first U.S. FDA-approved, distributable comprehensive genomic profiling in vitro diagnostics (IVD) kit with pan-cancer CDx claims in the United States.
ILMN Stock Price Performance
Over the past three months, ILMN’s shares have risen 0.1% against the industry’s 8.5% decline.
