PlantCAD2 is a DNA foundation model pre-trained on 65 angiosperm genomes, showing improved performance in evolutionary conservation and chromatin accessible region prediction compared to existing models.

GeneCAD improves gene annotation in plant genomes using a DNA foundation model, achieving higher accuracy than existing tools across diverse species.

The paper examines genome evolution in maize and related grasses, revealing variable outcomes of polyploidy across species.

The paper introduces PlantCaduceus, a DNA language model for plants, showing high transferability across species and improved performance in mutation prediction and variant identification.
