• Authors: Weixi Xiang, Xueting Han, Xiujuan Chai, Jing Bai,
• Abstract summary: We introduce BSM, a small but powerful mixed-modal biological sequence foundation model. It is trained on three types of data: RefSeq, Gene Related Sequences, and interleaved biological sequences from the web. It significantly enhances learning efficiency and cross-modal representation, outperforming models trained solely on unimodal data.

• Abstract: Modeling biological sequences such as DNA, RNA, and proteins is crucial for understanding complex processes like gene regulation and protein synthesis. However, most current models either focus on a single type or treat multiple types of data separately, limiting their ability to capture cross-modal relationships. We propose that by learning the relationships between these modalities, the model can enhance its understanding of each type. To address this, we introduce BSM, a small but powerful mixed-modal biological sequence foundation model, trained on three types of data: RefSeq, Gene Related Sequences, and interleaved biological sequences from the web. These datasets capture the genetic flow, gene-protein relationships, and the natural co-occurrence of diverse biological data, respectively. By training on mixed-modal data, BSM significantly enhances learning efficiency and cross-modal representation, outperforming models trained solely on unimodal data. With only 110M parameters, BSM achieves performance comparable to much larger models across both single-modal and mixed-modal tasks, and uniquely demonstrates in-context learning capability for mixed-modal tasks, which is absent in existing models. Further scaling to 270M parameters demonstrates even greater performance gains, highlighting the potential of BSM as a significant advancement in multimodal biological sequence modeling.

  We introduce DPLM-2, a multimodal protein foundation model that extends discrete diffusion protein language model (DPLM) to accommodate both sequences and structures. DPLM-2 learns the joint distribution of sequence and structure, as well as their marginals and conditionals. Empirical evaluation shows that DPLM-2 can simultaneously generate highly compatible amino acid sequences and their corresponding 3D structures.

We also find four empirical phenomena observed during the training, such as emergent coordinate-ascent style training that naturally alternates between modalities.
