Excited to announce DART-Eval, a set of robust DNA Language Model evaluations!

Delighted to share our latest work deciphering the landscape of chromatin accessibility and modeling the DNA sequence syntax rules underlying gene regulation during human development! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Read on for more 🧵 [1/16]

Today was a big day for the lab. We had two back to back thesis defenses and the defenders defended with great science and character. Congrats to DR. Kelly Cochran & DR. Soumya Kundu on this momentous achievement. Brilliant scientists with brilliant futures ahead. 🎉🎉🎉

This a really exciting leap forward for genomic sequence to activity gene regulation models. It is a genuine improvement over pretty much all SOTA models spanning a wide range of regulatory, transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. 1/

Our work on "Evaluating the representational power of pre-trained DNA language models for regulatory genomics" led by Amber Tang with help from Nirali Somia & Steven Yu is finally published in Genome Biology! Check it out! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
