Genome language models uncover a new class of reverse-transcriptase mechanisms
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-09-25
- New work led by David Li and Garyk Brixi shows how genome language models enable systematic discovery of genetic elements.
- The study reveals a new class of reverse-transcriptase (RT) mechanisms.
- The team found RTs adjacent to repeat arrays in phage genomes and experimentally showed the RTs do reverse-transcribe the array, validating the computational discovery.
