🚨 #ISMB2026 Proceedings submissions are due tomorrow, January 20 by 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (no exceptions).

📥 Submit here: https://www.iscb.org/ismb2026/call-for-submissions/proceedings

And the latest from @dreamchallenges.bsky.social

Check the interactive visualization tool of the results here: genet.pythonanywhere.com

New preprint with @bckwon.bsky.social use LLMs to summarize and visualize evidence for new gene-disease associations.

🧠Can AI agents predict #Alzheimers? Participate in our DREAM challenge agentic track to find out!

We provide unique training + test data for AI agents: snRNA-seq, IHC, stage, etc synapse.org/Synapse:syn6...

Also co-submit your agent paper to agents4science.stanford.edu

We have comparable results to DNA-BERT2 (with less pre-training). Our SNP-aware model is better than when we only use the reference genome. Please easily SNPify your data with our code and tell us about better benchmarks to show the power of being SNP-aware!

BMFM-DNA: A SNP-aware DNA foundation model to capture variant effects Large language models (LLMs) trained on text demonstrated remarkable results on natural language processing (NLP) tasks. These models have been adapted to decipher the language of DNA, where sequences...

So here are the results of 2 years of hard work:

BMFM-DNA: A SNP-aware DNA foundation model to capture variant effects

It's a simple concept: encode DNA variants in your pre-training and get better fine-tunning results.
