METAGENE-1: Metagenomic Foundation Model for Pandemic Monitoring
2025-01-12
Abstract excerpt
We pretrain METAGENE-1, a 7-billion-parameter autoregressive transformer model, which we refer to as a _metagenomic foundation model_, on a novel corpus of diverse metagenomic DNA and RNA sequences comprising over 1.5 trillion base pairs. This dataset is sourced from a large collection of human wastewater samples, processed and sequenced using deep metagenomic (next-generation) sequencing methods. Unlike genomic m...
