AI decodes plant DNA 'switches' to better predict gene control

Researchers have developed a deep learning AI model that predicts how regulatory proteins bind to plant DNA to control gene expression. This technology helps scientists understand how genetic variations allow crops to adapt to environmental stress.
Why it matters
Improving our understanding of plant genomics can lead to more resilient crop varieties, which is essential for global food security.
