Researchers are using machine learning to identify previously unknown gene regulatory switches across the fungal tree of life, according to a new report. The approach could help scientists understand how fungi control gene expression in different species, with potential applications in biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture. The work highlights how AI tools are increasingly being applied to comparative genomics and biology.
