LOAM: A family of genomic language models trained on long-read soil metagenomes

Soil ecosystems represent a vast, largely uncharacterised reservoir of microbial diversity. Metagenomic assembly has unlocked access to this resource, and recent advances in long-read sequencing have improved the recovery and quality of microbial genomes from complex samples. While genomic language models have proven h...
