Procedure, tasks and evaluated configurations

How it works

Evaluation methodology

Three conservation tasks use Sorghum bicolor with Andropogoneae alignments, a Poaceae coding-sequence alignment with Pharus latifolius as outgroup, and potato (Solanum tuberosum) with 95 Solanaceae genomes. Each uses its own alignment-derived conservation labels. This is zero-shot scoring rather than fitting on conservation labels. For the Andropogoneae and Poaceae tasks, the evaluated site is centered at position 4,096 in an 8,192-base window and its reference base is masked. Conservation thresholds and selected positions differ by task. AUROC for conserved/non-conserved site classification in the cross-species conservation evaluations. PlantCAD2, PlantCAD, GPN and Evo2. The paper explicitly states that Solanaceae species were absent from PlantCAD2 pretraining, while Evo 2 included multiple Solanum genomes. This supports a scoped distinction for the potato experiment, not a universal claim that every evaluated position or homolog was unseen.

entity classification
review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped record identifies the biological prediction task and holds its paper context. Preserve the existing task identity; exact split, model adaptation and scoring remain in linked evaluations or separate protocol records.; source ids: plantcad2-2025; source locator: Methods: Zero-shot evaluation of PlantCAD2, PlantCAD and GPN; Evo2 evaluation; cached text lines 110–115; task metric definitions and corresponding results table; ambiguities: A paper- or suite-specific task may constrain some inputs or metrics; that alone does not make it interchangeable with a complete versioned protocol. No protocol equivalence is inferred.; Some legacy profile Entity type facts use the generic phrase computational evaluation protocol. That boilerplate is not sufficient to establish a single fixed protocol identity or to merge this task with another protocol record.
