Modeling CRISPR gene drives for suppression of invasive rodents using a supervised machine learning framework.

PLoS computational biology Dec 29, 2021
Invasive rodent populations pose a threat to biodiversity across the globe. When confronted with these invaders, native species that evolved independently are often defenseless. CRISPR gene drive systems could provide a solution to this problem by sp...

Predicting direct and indirect non-target impacts of biocontrol agents using machine-learning approaches.

PloS one Jun 1, 2021
Biological pest control (i.e. 'biocontrol') agents can have direct and indirect non-target impacts, and predicting these effects (especially indirect impacts) remains a central challenge in biocontrol risk assessment. The analysis of ecological netwo...

Semi-automated identification of biological control agent using artificial intelligence.

Scientific reports Sep 3, 2020
The accurate identification of biological control agents is necessary for monitoring and preventing contamination in integrated pest management (IPM); however, this is difficult for non-taxonomists to achieve in the field. Many machine learning techn...
