Title: Rethinking Genomic Modeling Through Optical Character Recognition

Abstract:
arXiv:2602.02014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent genomic foundation models largely adopt large language model architectures that treat DNA as a one-dimensional token sequence. However, exhaustive sequential reading is structurally misaligned with sparse and discontinuous genomic semantics, leading to wasted computation on low-information background and preventing understanding-driven compression for long contexts. Here, we present OpticalDNA, a vision-based framework that reframe
