Gene-Environment Interactions in Stress Response Contribute Additively to a Genotype-Environment Interaction. by Takeshi Matsui, Ian M Ehrenreich

“…To shed light on this problem, we genetically dissected an environment-specific poor growth phenotype in a cross of two budding yeast strains. This phenotype is detectable when certain segregants are grown on ethanol at 37°C ('E37'), a condition that differs from the standard culturing environment in both its carbon source (ethanol as opposed to glucose) and temperature (37°C as opposed to 30°C). …”

Real-World Efficacy of Explainable Artificial Intelligence using the SAGE Framework and Scenario-Based Design by Eleanor Mill, Wolfgang Garn, Chris Turner

“…The first of its kind, it leverages three distinct but complementary frameworks to support a user-centric and context-sensitive, post-hoc explanation for fraud detection. Using the principles of scenario-based design, it amalgamates two independent real-world sources to establish a realistic card fraud prediction scenario. …”
