The paper introduces Murmur2Vec, a lightweight, alignment‑free embedding that uses k‑mer counts hashed with MurmurHash to create a compact representation for biological sequences. It provides a full theoretical analysis, including bias/variance formulas, a Johnson–Lindenstrauss‑style concentration bound, and an excess‑risk bound that clarifies the trade‑off between hash‑table size and classifier performance. Empirically, Murmur2Vec matches or surpasses a fine‑tuned 650M‑parameter ESM‑2 protein language model across several classification tasks, including SARS‑CoV‑2 spike lineage and HIV‑1 Env subtype identification.

EvoLen is a tokenization method for DNA language models that incorporates evolutionary information to prioritize functional sequence patterns such as regulatory motifs. It groups DNA sequences by cross-species evolutionary signals, trains separate BPE tokenizers for each group, merges vocabularies with a rule that favors preserved patterns, and uses length-aware decoding with dynamic programming. Experiments show EvoLen better preserves functional motifs, differentiates genomic contexts, and aligns with evolutionary constraints while matching or surpassing standard BPE on various DNALM benchmarks.

arXiv:2607. 16553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein fold classification can be approached via sequence-based representations or structural descriptors, but direct comparisons between lightweight handcrafted descriptors and pretrained protein language model embeddings remain limited.

RAGenome is a retrieval‑based genomic language model that extends pretraining to contexts 100 times longer than existing MSA‑based models, enabling it to capture both cross‑species evolutionary relationships and within‑species long‑range interactions. Trained on whole‑genome alignments from 100 vertebrates, it improves gene‑finding performance from 0.45 to 0.60 while staying competitive on evolutionary tasks such as prioritizing pathogenic variants. The model offers competitive performance at a fraction of the training cost, unifying evolutionary modeling and long‑range capabilities in a single scalable framework.
