The development of climate-resilient crops would be greatly accelerated by models able to reason directly over plant genomic sequences and to pinpoint trait-associated regions or loci. Anticipating the impact of DNA base changes (variants) remains challenging, and understanding regulatory mechanisms is still an active…

Parallel visual streams segregate information into pathways specialized for distinct computations, but how this segregation is achieved by anatomical segregation of primary visual cortex output remains unclear. This problem is complicated because individual neurons frequently send broadcasting projections to multiple…

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…

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…
