Safeguarding open-weight genomic foundation models through weight locking

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Genomic foundation models can dramatically accelerate biological research by learning general-purpose representations of genomic data that transfer across tasks, enabling researchers to predict variant effects, regulatory elements, and molecular function, among others. To safeguard against potential biosecurity threats and malicious misuse of open-weight models, a common strategy involves excl...
