🔍 PlantConnectome is an interactive platform that extracts and visualizes relationships between plant genes, molecules, and biological concepts—mined from over 70,000 research articles using GPT-based language models.

💡 The result? A network of ~4.7 million connections!

🌿 I had the pleasure of highlighting the PlantConnectome tool (plant.connectome.tools) developed by the @LabMutwil in my latest article for @theplantcell.bsky.social .
