Screening of Biosecurity Features in Metagenomic Data with Evo 2 Probes
Jeremy Guntoro, Alexander Dack, Dylan Danno, Michaela Jančovičová, Križan Jurinović, Vanessa Smilansky
Genomic foundation models such as Evo 2 learn rich sequence representations, but their value for biosecurity screening is largely unexplored. We ask how much biosecurity-relevant signal is linearly accessible in these representations by training minimal linear and attention probe…
