From RESIST to ROOTED: Measuring selective pressure

Nov 8, 2026

This sprint's presentation explores the transition from RESIST, a hypothetical cancer resistance simulation, to ROOTED, a proposed plant research platform. Building on computational models of biological responses to selective pressure, ROOTED will combine machine learning with a 3D-printed monitoring device to measure environmental conditions and plant growth. The goal is to investigate how environmental stress influences gene expression, plant performance, and potentially genetic adaptation over time.
