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 identifies H5N1 strains in brown skuas from Antarctica, showing the virus is actively circulating there and expanding its geographic range.
