LAMBDA: A Prophage Detection Benchmark for Genomic Language Models

2026-03-26

Abstract excerpt

Transformer-based genomic sequence models represent an emerging frontier in computational biology. Yet, their embeddings have not yet shown the same level of predictive power as natural and protein language models, indicating a gap between current implementations and theoretical promise. Existing benchmarks for DNA language models primarily focus on classifying regulatory elements in eukaryotic genomes, leaving op...
