• Abstract summary: Large language models (LLMs) are promising for biomedical and healthcare research. We propose a collection of finetuned LLMs and multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) for three novel tasks in genomics and proteomic research. The models in Geneverse are trained and evaluated based on domain-specific datasets. We demonstrate that adapted LLMs and MLLMs perform well for these tasks and may outperform closed-source large-scale models.

• Abstract: The applications of large language models (LLMs) are promising for biomedical and healthcare research. Despite the availability of open-source LLMs trained using a wide range of biomedical data, current research on the applications of LLMs to genomics and proteomics is still limited. To fill this gap, we propose a collection of finetuned LLMs and multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), known as Geneverse, for three novel tasks in genomic and proteomic research. The models in Geneverse are trained and evaluated based on domain-specific datasets, and we use advanced parameter-efficient finetuning techniques to achieve the model adaptation for tasks including the generation of descriptions for gene functions, protein function inference from its structure, and marker gene selection from spatial transcriptomic data. We demonstrate that adapted LLMs and MLLMs perform well for these tasks and may outperform closed-source large-scale models based on our evaluations focusing on both truthfulness and structural correctness. All of the training strategies and base models we used are freely accessible.

• Exploring the Alignment Landscape: LLMs and Geometric Deep Models in Protein Representation [57.59506688299817]
  Latent representation alignment is used to map embeddings from different modalities into a shared space, often aligned with the embedding space of large language models (LLMs) Preliminary protein-focused large language models (MLLMs) have emerged, but they have predominantly relied on approaches lacking a fundamental understanding of optimal alignment practices across representations. In this study, we explore the alignment of multimodal representations between LLMs and Geometric Deep Models (GDMs) in the protein domain. Our work examines alignment factors from both model and protein perspectives, identifying challenges in current alignment methodologies and proposing strategies to improve the alignment process.

• Combining Domain-Specific Models and LLMs for Automated Disease Phenotyping from Survey Data [0.0]
  This pilot study investigated the potential of combining a domain-specific model, BERN2, with large language models (LLMs) to enhance automated phenotyping from research survey data. We employed BERN2, a named entity recognition and normalization model, to extract information from the ORIGINS survey data. BERN2 demonstrated high performance in extracting and normalizing disease mentions, and the integration of LLMs, particularly with Few Shot Inference and RAG orchestration, further improved accuracy.
