Evidence
Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.
Evidence table
Inspect claims, sources and review details
Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.
One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

- The pages carry a KDD '26 conference header and the arXiv page lists a related ACM DOI (10.1145/3770855.3819057); the conference version was not retrieved, so the record stays at the arXiv preprint.; Values were read from the pdftotext (poppler 26.08.0) layout text layer of the PDF; the archived copy is that text layer, SHA-256 48071e2e329430de04b90c16d92261af52fe953cfc424e8caa5acf2babc574c7.; Table 3 lists NT v3 under phage-specific coverage (P) and Table 9 lists it as non-viral (N); Table 25 groups NTv3 rows under phage-specific coverage.

- source id: lit-microbial-20261011-virobench-source-ye2026; message: Table 25 prints one Macro-F1 per model for the taxonomy columns. For 143 of the 144 model-by-split taxonomy cells on the ALL-virus set, the printed value equals the mean of the five per-rank values in Table 26 rounded to two decimals. The exception is RNA-FM under the genus-disjoint split: Table 25 prints 48.67 and the mean of the Table 26 ranks (59.96, 65.35, 37.58, 58.78, 43.82) is 53.10. One of the two tables is wrong for that row, so RNA-FM ALL taxonomy G-Split should not be used in a comparison without checking the published code.; source locator: Table 25, row 'RNA-FM', column 'ALL viruses / Taxonomy / G-Split'; Table 26, row 'RNA-FM'; artifact sha256: 22ad7d742eeba37dd7f7f407a483776ba15fc38dedfb8c27ec05f5db231f9e42; reviewed at: 2026-10-11T00:00:00Z; review method: ai-assisted-source-review; source id: lit-microbial-20261011-virobench-source-ye2026; message: Table 3 lists NT v3 under phage-specific pretraining coverage (P) and Table 9 lists it as non-viral (N). Table 25 groups the NTv3 rows under phage-specific coverage, which is what the configurations record. Pretraining coverage is the paper's main explanatory variable, so NT v3 rows should not be used to support a coverage-versus-performance claim.; source locator: Table 3 row 'NT v3'; Table 9 row 'NT v3'; Table 25 section 'DNA Foundation Models (Phage-specific Coverage)'; artifact sha256: 22ad7d742eeba37dd7f7f407a483776ba15fc38dedfb8c27ec05f5db231f9e42; reviewed at: 2026-10-11T00:00:00Z; review method: ai-assisted-source-review
