Machine learning uncovers ‘genes of importance’ in agriculture

Science Notes: Technology can also predict additional traits in plants, disease outcomes in animals

Machine learning can pinpoint “genes of importance” that help crops to grow with less fertilizer, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.  It can also predict additional traits in plants and disease outcomes in animals, illustrating its applications beyond agriculture. Using genomic data to predict outcomes in agriculture and medicine is both a promise and […] Read more
