BGI-Research and Zhejiang Lab have released two new models built on the Genos genomic foundation model: Genos-Mutation and Genos-Reg. These tools are designed to help researchers study how DNA mutations and cell states shape gene expression, supporting more efficient interpretation of genomic variation and regulation. Available through the BGI DCS Cloud platform.

BGI-Research and Zhejiang Lab have released Genos-m, an open-source foundation model for human-associated microbes. Building on BGI’s Genos framework, Genos-m converts microbial genes, genomes, and metagenomic samples into reusable numerical representations, supporting research in microbiome science, pathogen analysis, and personalized health. Model weights, code, and documentation are publicly available under Apache 2.0.

The latest from @bgilliam1982 is a good story well told. And yet, I find it’s one of the exceedingly rare times I disagree with him. The notion of suited Mitsubishi execs walking into a New York law firm to hand-deliver a physical check seems patently absurd today. If the story happened post-tokenization, they could settle the $9 billion in stablecoins within minutes on Ethereum. Morgan Stanley Vice Chairman Rob Kindler gets to stay on vacation in Cape Cod, and his lawyer doesn’t need a new suit. Fedwire has to compete with that just as NYSE does with tokenized shares. And it’s a good thing.
