Minerva: genome language models uncover co-evolutionary systems across prokaryotes
BrianHie · x · 2026-09-23
DavidLi and garykbrixi introduce Minerva, a genome-language-model approach for biological discovery. Mining large-scale co-evolution across prokaryotic genomes, they find UG27 reverse transcriptase systems encode variable arrays of diverse ncRNAs with a shared structure, each templating a short DNA hairpin.
