TL;DR

The relationship between DNA sequence and the epigenome relative to RT is dissect and it is suggested that primary DNA sequence instructions exert a powerful baseline control over constitutive and cell-type-specific RT, fine-tuned by regulatory cues beyond the DNA sequence.

Interpretable prediction of DNA replication origins in S. cerevisiae using DNABERT and DNABERT-2

This study fine-tune two genome-based pretrained language models, DNABERT and DNABERT-2, to predict replication origins in budding yeast and unravel the DNA base composition behind them, and demonstrates that both models identify replication origin sequences, albeit through different learning strategies.

Toward generalizable and interpretable AI in regulatory genomics

It is suggested that progress requires reframing seq2func models as continually refined systems, in which targeted perturbation experiments, systematic evaluation and iterative model updates are tightly coupled through artificial intelligence-experiment feedback loops, enabling self-improving models that progressively...

Evaluating the cross-species transferability and scaling of sequence-to-function predictions in AlphaGenome

This work developed a scoring-approach for AI-agents to autonomously assess AlphaGenome prediction confidence and accurately differentiate between AlphaGenome’s robust sequence-level recognition across species and its current limitations when interpreting un-fine-mapped regulatory variants.
