    Screening of Biosecurity Features in Metagenomic Data with Evo 2 Probes

    Jeremy Guntoro, Alexander Dack, Dylan Danno, Michaela Jančovičová, Križan Jurinović, Vanessa Smilansky

    Genomic foundation models such as Evo 2 learn rich sequence representations, but their value for biosecurity screening is largely unexplored. We ask how much biosecurity-relevant signal is linearly accessible in these representations by training minimal linear and attention probes on frozen Evo 2 layer-26 activations, without fine-tuning the underlying model. Across held-out metagenomic test sets, the probes detect antimicrobial resistance...
