Abstract
Interpreting gene function in specific biological contexts is essential for biomedical research, yet manual literature review is labor-intensive. We developed GeneKnow, a source-grounded framework that uses generative AI models within a controlled hybrid workflow to produce reliable, traceable literature synthesis supported by authentic citations. Through systematic benchmarking, we showed that GeneKnow outperforms mainstream web-interface AI tools in generating trustworthy context-specific gene function syntheses without fabricated citations and minimizing hallucinations.
