Genomic in-context learning and CoT touted as a new frontier for generative biology

@garykbrixi highlights genomic in-context learning (ICL) and chain-of-thought as an exciting new approach for generative biology, sharing papers, code and a web app. Stanford professor Anshul Kundaje counters that while the ICL work is impressive, enhancer/promoter design can be done with simpler, faster cell-type-specific sequence-to-ontology models, questioning EVO2's necessity here.
