New AI tool exposes plant pathogens and the genes behind them

Can a bacterium's DNA reveal whether it will make a plant sick? Bioinformatician Guillermo Guerrero Egido believes so. In his PhD research, he developed a computational method that not only identifies potential pathogens, but also the genes that may be responsible for their disease-causing abilities...
