Genome assembly is important in infectious disease surveillance, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and cancer genomics. The task of reconstructing full genomic sequences from fragmented reads, can be framed as a large scale combinatorial optimisation problem. Recent advances in quantum computing have introduced new…

Biomolecular interactions, including protein–protein interactions, protein–nucleic acid recognition, and protein–small molecule binding, underlie a wide range of biological processes and therapeutic mechanisms. Although recent de novo design methods can generate candidate binders for diverse molecular targets…

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…

For datasets with thousands of neurons and images, vision transformers have proven successful at predicting neural responses to stimuli. However, they are expected to underperform in low-data regimes, where CNNs and Gaussian processes are considered more effective. We ask whether transformers can be made competitive…

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…
