Convergent evolution—where distinct species independently evolve similar traits or functions, such as the wings of birds and bats—has long fascinated biologists. Now, a research team led by Prof. Zou Zhengting from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has introduced a deep learning–based method to unravel the complex molecular mechanisms driving this phenomenon.
