Very excited to announce that our latest paper, Vy et al., has been published! The ACE1 secondary metabolite gene cluster is a pathogenicity factor of wheat blast fungus. doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

We were invited to write a review article on DNA/genomic language models (gLMs). We took this occasion to gather our thoughts on promising applications, and major considerations for developing and evaluating gLMs. Pls share with your colleagues: Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2407.11435

What’s remarkable about PlantCaduceus is its ability to be fine-tuned in Arabidopsis and still retain accuracy in distant species like major grass crops, such as corn. 🌱→ 🌽🌾 This class of models are a game changer for plant genomics! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
