DNA foundation models such as Evo2 7B adopt hybrid Hyena/attention architectures (Striped-Hyena2) whose single-stream autoregressive decoding is bounded by weight bandwidth at ∼45 tok/s. Speculative decoding on such hybrids faces a systems problem that prior SSM work solves only partially: after a draft is verified…

Behavior arises from the interplay between spontaneous brain dynamics and sensory-driven responses, yet how spontaneous neural activity shapes variability in decision-making remains unclear. We leverage the tractable C. elegans nervous system to address this question. During oxygen avoidance, we observe binary…

The primary goal of a brain-computer interface (BCI) is to enable interactions with the environment by generating control signals directly from brain activity, independent of physical movement including gaze shifts. Attentional selection of peripheral objects has been used to control a BCI but requires sufficient…

A fundamental challenge for animals and humans is resolving competing survival demands under naturalistic threat, yet circuit-level mechanisms remain poorly understood. We developed a paradigm recapitulating a predator-prey encounter: Long-Evans rats emerged from a nest to forage in an open arena, choosing between…

While protein-RNA interactions are fundamental to post-transcriptional processes, achieving a holistic understanding of their regulatory logic remains challenging. Current computational models often treat binding affinity, interface mapping, and RNA design as isolated tasks, thereby failing to provide a unified…

The exponential growth of genomic databases necessitates alignment-free methods for comparing genomes. While MinHash-based tools have revolutionized this field by efficiently estimating the Average Nucleotide Identity based on k-mer sets, they inherently discard structural genomic information. We introduce HyperSketch…

Cell-cell communication (CCC) is essential for maintaining tissue organization and driving biological progression, yet its inference from transcriptomic data has long been limited by the absence of spatial context. Advances in spatial transcriptomics (ST) now enable mechanistically grounded analyses of CCC by…
