Omnii, a language model pretrained on DNA, designs personalized mRNA cancer vaccines
exnx · x · 2026-09-09
RadicalNumerics released new research on Omnii, a multimodal language model pretrained on DNA, showing it learned to turn tumor DNA sequences into personalized mRNA vaccine designs. The reposter notes genome language models designing cancer vaccines is an exciting direction — the context-adapting machinery of LLMs may unlock personalized medicine.
