# AI Shortlist module

The [AI shortlist](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/tertiary-analysis-pipeline/ai-shortlist.md) prioritizes variants, helping you focus on the most relevant candidates.

In the AI Shortlist module card, you can select an AI shortlist mode for rare disease analysis and one for carrier analysis to match your workflow. Once a mode is changed, it will apply to all new case analyses, including reanalysis.

{% hint style="info" %}
To change the AI Shortlist modes for rare disease analysis and carrier analysis, users must have the Manage Auto Analysis Tier IAM scope.

In legacy cloud environments, this permission is granted through the EMG role.

### Rare disease analysis

Emedgene offers two analysis modes for rare disease interpretation.

* **Focused Mode**: The [Most Likely Candidates and Candidates](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/candidates-tab/most_likely_candidates_and_candidates.md) list includes only variants found in genes known to be associated with disease.\
  Variants that are highly ranked but located in genes of unknown significance (GUSs) are labeled as Most likely GUS and Candidate GUS.
* **Discovery Mode**: The [Most Likely Candidates and Candidates](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/candidates-tab/most_likely_candidates_and_candidates.md) list is not restricted to variants in known disease-associated genes. Variants in both known and unknown genes are evaluated and ranked together in the same list.

{% hint style="info" %}
The focused mode of the AI shortlist for rare diseases is referred to as "Tier v0," and the discovery mode is referred to as "Tier v2" in the [Versions tab](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/versions_tab.md#emedgene-resources).
{% endhint %}

### Carrier analysis

The AI shortlist will prioritize variants reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in any known variant databases or variants with high severity.

* **Known Pathogenic**: The AI shortlist will prioritize variants reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in any known variant databases.
* **High Severity**: The AI shortlist will prioritize variants with high severity.
* **Both**: The AI shortlist will prioritize variants reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in any known variant databases or variants with high severity.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/settings/organization_settings_-330+/workbench-and-pipeline/ai-shortlist-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
