The paper introduces SegmentNT, a DNA foundation model for genome annotation, achieving state-of-the-art performance in identifying 14 genic and regulatory elements across species.

This study uses population and comparative genomics to analyze how natural selection affects TF-DNA interaction motifs, finding purifying selection on TF-BDs and increased positive selection in species with large Ne.

ChatNT is a conversational agent that understands biological sequences and achieves state-of-the-art results on genomics tasks while being accessible to non-coders.

The paper investigates how genetic variation in wild mice affects fitness by linking genotype to phenotype and allele frequency changes through field and lab experiments.

The paper compares demographic scenarios between African and European Drosophila melanogaster populations using new genomic data, finding that gene flow improves model fit and suggests an older divergence time.

The paper discusses the impact of skewed offspring distributions and background selection on viral population genetics and highlights challenges in genetic inference.
