    GEARS, a machine learning model informed by biological knowledge of gene–gene relationships, effectively predicts transcriptional responses to multi-gene perturbations. GEARS can predict the effects of perturbing previously unperturbed genes and detects non-additive interactions, such as synergy, when predicting combinatorial perturbation outcomes. Thus, GEARS expands insights gained from perturbational screens.
