In a recent pre-print* study posted to the bioRxiv server, a team of researchers introduced the Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine Pretrained Transformer (CpGPT: a transformer-based foundation model for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation) designed to enhance analysis and prediction across diverse tissues and conditions.
Background
Since the advent of transformer architecture, artificial intelligence has rapidly progressed, especially through foundation models and large language models (LLMs) that utilize self-attention to...
