dnaHNet

Arc Institute / Carnegie Mellon University / University of Toronto

Released February 11, 2026

1

A tokenizer-free, hierarchical autoregressive genomic foundation model that adaptively chunks raw nucleotides, enabling efficient long-context learning and zero-shot variant and gene predictions.

DNA & Gene

evoRate

University of Toronto

Released February 2, 2026

A genome language model that adds evolutionary-rate prediction as a pretraining task, improving representations and variant effect prediction over sequence-only training.
