AI Tool Uncovers Gene Combinations Underlying Genotype–Phenotype Relationships in Complex Traits

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene disorders, complex conditions are influenced by a network of multiple genes, which means there is a huge number of possible gene combinations, making it incredibly difficult for researchers to pinpoint those that cause disease. Using a generative arti…
