Arc Institute's COMPASS Uses Genomic Language Models to Map Noncoding DNA Functions
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-23
Arc Institute released a preprint introducing COMPASS, a genomic language model-based approach from Patrick Hsu's team to systematically map the underexplored functional sequence space hidden in noncoding DNA.
Commenters note that Evo helps agents mine genomes, suggesting the approach could combine with AI agents for automated functional genomics discovery.
