PathoLM: Identifying Pathogenicity from the DNA Sequence Through the Genome Foundation Model

Published:

PathoLM adapts pretrained DNA foundation models for pathogenicity identification from bacterial and viral sequences. It targets data-efficient detection of novel and divergent pathogens and evaluates zero-shot, few-shot, and species-classification settings.
