PathoBERT: A Hybrid Attention-Based Genomic Language Model for Read-Level Bacterial Pathogenicity Prediction

Motivation Although recent deep learning models have achieved promising results on read-level classification tasks, their robustness to realistic sequencing conditions, sensitivity to read length, and ability to support reliable genome-level inference remain incompletely characterized. Here, we present PathoBERT, a hyb...
