ViroBench: Benchmarking Nucleotide Foundation Models on Viral Genomics Tasks

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.25388v1 Announce Type: new Nucleotide sequences constitute the fundamental genetic basis of biological systems, rendering viral genomic analysis critical for biomedical advancement. Despite progress in biological foundation models, specifically nucleotide foundation models (NFMs), the field lacks a unified standard for viral genomics to facilitate community development and enforce biosecurity constraints. To address this, we
