Ask HN: What have you built using AI on plant genomics?

I recently came across the possibility of founding a startup for predicting traits given genomic information. I am pretty excited to apply this technology to breeding and GMO campaigns.

It seems like selecting the correct variants have a great impact in time-to-market and variant acceptance rate as cultivation takes years to perform.

I was wondering whether this (or something similar) has been done before and what were the challenges you might have encounter.

Feel free to ask for more information :)
