Mark Gerstein, a professor of biomedical informatics at Yale School of Medicine, who was not involved in the new study, said that for 15 to 20 years experts have been systematically trying to make predictions about gene regulation, building on a trove of carefully made datasets. The data examined all genes in specific types of human cells ― for example, retinal cells or neurons ― measuring, among other things, gene expression and the binding of key proteins called transcription factors.
“This is a field poised to have this type of advancement by AI,” Gerstein said. “}}
