Researchers have developed a novel method to connect DNA foundation models with large language models (LLMs) without requiring extensive training. This approach, termed a "socket," utilizes a closed-form map, specifically a ridge regression, to link features from a DNA model to the LLM's internal representations of gene information. This "plug" replaces hidden states in the LLM, allowing the DNA model to function with frozen LLMs. Experiments on the GeneHop benchmark demonstrated that this method significantly outperforms shuffled DNA controls across multiple LLM hosts, including Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen3.6-27B, Mistral-7B, and OLMo-2-7B, indicating the socket effectively conveys gene identity.
