AI sequence models find new applications in genomics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sequence models, similar to those used in language processing, are being applied to genomics to analyze protein and nucleotide sequences. These models learn evolutionary patterns by predicting masked portions of sequences, revealing insights into protein structure and function without explicit labeling. However, biological sequences differ from language in alphabet size, dependency length, lack of clear boundaries, strand symmetry, and the significance of repetition, requiring specialized model architectures and interpretations. AI

IMPACT Sequence models are expanding beyond language to analyze biological data, offering new ways to understand evolutionary constraints and interpret genetic variants.
