arXiv:2607. 27258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Plant biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encode specialized-metabolite pathways, yet curated plant BGC labels remain scarce, hindering supervised discovery at genome scale.
Plant biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encode specialized-metabolite pathways, yet curated plant BGC labels remain scarce, hindering supervised discovery at genome scale. Existing plant BGC mining tools are largely signature- and rule-driven and do not fully leverage recent advances in contextual representation learning for modeling long-range domain context and controlling false positives under strong domain shift.
Genome-Factory is the first integrated Python library designed to streamline the entire workflow of genomic foundation model development, covering data collection, model tuning, inference, benchmarking, and interpretability. It provides automated pipelines for downloading and preprocessing genomic sequences, supports both full and parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning for diverse models, and offers tools for embedding extraction, DNA sequence generation, and flexible benchmarking. Additionally, the library includes an open‑source biological interpreter based on a sparse auto‑encoder, validated across compatibility, performance, and biological interpretation dimensions.
VenusGenome is a gene‑resolution masked autoencoder that learns microbial genome representations by combining visible‑only encoding with genome‑aware attention, which incorporates contig boundaries, relative strand orientations, and gene positions. The model is pretrained on over 1.7 million microbial genome assemblies using frozen protein embeddings as inputs, and its frozen representations outperform other evaluated models on nine of eleven primary metrics for both genome‑level phenotype prediction and gene‑level tasks. Ablation studies confirm the importance of genome‑aware attention and demonstrate that higher masking ratios and masked autoencoding yield better performance than BERT‑style masked modeling.

arXiv:2602. 17162v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Genomic Foundation Models (GFMs) typically rely on Masked Language Modeling (MLM) or Next-Token Prediction (NTP) to learn the "Laws of Nature".
arXiv:2608. 06727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer models for high-dimensional omics analysis process thousands of genes or pathways, although only a subset requires deep computation.
Transformer models for high-dimensional omics analysis process thousands of genes or pathways, although only a subset requires deep computation. Mixture-of-Recursions (MoR) improves efficiency through adaptive token-choice or expert-choice routing.
