New diagnostic tool separates genomic model predictability from regulation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new diagnostic method to distinguish between sequence predictability and actual regulatory function in genomic foundation models. This approach was applied to three distinct models, Caduceus-Ph, HyenaDNA, and Enformer, analyzing over 30,000 dark genome elements. The findings indicate a consistent 10kb proximal-regulatory horizon but reveal that language model-derived hierarchies do not reliably predict regulatory impact, with a simpler linear model achieving comparable results.
