This study identifies backdoor vulnerabilities in genomic foundation models through data poisoning during fine-tuning and proposes an auditing framework to detect such threats.

This study benchmarks single-cell foundation models for aging biology, finding that Geneformer excels in age prediction and pseudotime concordance, while SCimilarity outperforms others in rare state identification.

The paper introduces GenSyntax, a large language model for prokaryotic genomes that captures functional context, achieving competitive performance in genome-scale tasks.
