In order to gain a molecular understanding of the genetic basis for plant traits, we need to be able to identify the underlying gene and the causal allele for genetic loci. This process usually involves a step where a researcher selects likely candidate genes from a list. The process of picking candidate genes is inherently prone to distortion due to human bias, and this is slowing down our research enterprise.
为了从分子水平上理解植物性状的遗传基础，我们需要能够识别遗传位点的潜在基因和因果等位基因。这个过程通常涉及研究人员从基因列表中选择可能的候选基因。由于人类的偏见，选择候选基因的过程本身就容易出现偏差，这也减缓了我们的研究进程。
