The paper introduces OmicsBench, a new reasoning benchmark for multi‑omics sequences that includes 1,160 expert‑validated questions across DNA regulation, RNA processing, and protein function tasks, requiring traceable evidence chains. Evaluation of 17 large language models shows that scientific LLMs, while more accurate in classification, often lack valid evidence, suggesting shortcut learning. To address this, the authors propose tool‑augmented on‑policy distillation (TA‑OPD), a post‑training method that improves both evidence grounding and predictive performance across five Qwen3.5 models of varying sizes.

CellMSA introduces a novel single‑cell representation learning framework that leverages a multiple‑sequence‑alignment‑inspired context model. For each target cell, it retrieves relevant cells across batches and related cell types, summarizing cross‑cell patterns into a context‑dependent gene‑pair representation that is fed into a pair‑aware encoder. Pretraining on a massive human single‑cell corpus (≈109 million cells) and subsequent benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance gains over existing methods.

SoftGene is a new framework that enhances gene set annotation by combining protein language model representations with a hybrid prompting scheme. It uses a hierarchical attention-based encoder built on ESM to encode gene sets from protein amino acid sequences, then merges soft prompts derived from these embeddings with hard prompts generated by a large language model. The approach is evaluated on Gene Ontology and MSigDB datasets, showing that integrating protein-sequence information with textual context improves overall annotation performance, though the benefit varies across biological domains.
