Enter Large Language Models (LLMs), a class of AI architectures prime for studying sequences. Since proteins, DNA sequences, and their encodings are all mathematical objects (or can be treated as such) from AI’s perspective, we can directly apply tools from Natural Language Processing, a field broadly referring to the application of artificial intelligence to language data, in bioinformatics contexts.
