Language-Model-Based Detection of Genetic Editing in Bacteria

Recent advances in genome editing allow easy genetic manipulation of bacteria, providing them with new traits, some of which could be hazardous, e.g. enhanced virulence or extended resistance to antibiotics. The ability to detect artificially modified bacteria is crucial for identifying potential bio-threats. However, malicious genome editing could be challenging to trace due to the natural…
