KWS Saat: From Graph to Gene: Knowledge Graphs and AI for Explainable Gene Discovery

This video presents a framework that uses knowledge graphs, link prediction, and generative AI to discover candidate genes for complex agricultural traits in an explainable way.

What it covers
  • Knowledge Graph Integration

    The framework integrates genes, traits, and biological evidence into a unified knowledge graph.

  • Link Prediction

    Link prediction is used to identify potential gene-trait associations within the knowledge graph.

  • Generative AI

    Generative AI enhances hypothesis generation by exploring novel gene-trait relationships.

  • Explainable Hypotheses

    The approach generates biologically meaningful and interpretable hypotheses, avoiding opaque AI predictions.

  • Agricultural Trait Discovery

    The framework is applied to identify candidate genes linked to complex agricultural traits.
