contents Elucidating gene function is one of the ultimate goals of plant science. Despite this, only ~15% of all genes in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have comprehensively experimentally verified functions. While bioinformatical gene function prediction approaches can guide biologists in their experimental efforts, neither the performance of the gene function prediction methods nor the number of experimental characterisation of genes has increased dramatically in recent years. In this review, we will discuss the status quo and the trajectory of gene function elucidation and outline the recent advances in gene function prediction approaches. We will then discuss how recent artificial intelligence advances in large language models and knowledge graphs can be leveraged to accelerate gene function predictions and keep us updated with scientific literature.
