LOAM is a family of genomic language models trained on long-read soil metagenomes, showing competitive performance despite a small training corpus and highlighting the importance of model scale and training data composition.

TransfoRNA uses an adaptive machine learning framework to improve small RNA annotation by iteratively expanding high-confidence labels and learning sequence-specific representations.

The paper identifies high expression of 5' tRNA halves in primate hippocampus and shows they regulate gene expression through sequence-specific mechanisms.
