AbstractModern biology has entered an era in which the central challenge is not the lack of data, but how to organize large and complex datasets into knowledge that scientists can understand and test. Artificial Intelligence has greatly improved the ability to find patterns in biological data, but many models still struggle to explain the biological mechanisms behind those patterns. This project addresses that challenge by developing new ways to use Artificial Intelligence to understand gene regulation,
