G2PDiffusion: Cross-Species Genotype-to-Phenotype Prediction via Evolutionary Diffusion

  • 基于多序列比对和环境上下文,构建跨物种基因到表型的扩散模型
  • 通过进化保守与共进化模式提升表型生成准确性,实现跨物种泛化
  • 适合基因组学、生物育种与个性化医疗领域的研究人员使用

理解基因如何影响跨物种表型是遗传工程的核心挑战,可推动作物育种、保护生物学与个性化医学的发展。然而现有表型预测模型局限于单一物种,且表型标注成本高,导致基因到表型预测成为高度依赖领域且数据稀缺的问题。为此,我们提出以图像作为形态学代理,借助大规模多模态预训练实现跨物种泛化。本文首次构建基因到表型的扩散模型(G2PDiffusion),从DNA生成形态图像时融合两个关键进化信号:多序列比对(MSA)与环境上下文。模型包含三项创新:1)基于MSA的检索引擎,识别保守与共进化模式;2)环境感知的MSA条件编码器,有效建模基因-环境复杂交互;3)自适应表型对齐模块,提升基因-表型一致性。大量实验表明,结合进化信号与环境上下文能显著增强模型对跨物种表型变异的理解,为先进人工智能辅助基因组分析提供重要探索路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Understanding how genes influence phenotype across species is a fundamental challenge in genetic engineering, which will facilitate advances in various fields such as crop breeding, conservation biology, and personalized medicine. However, current phenotype prediction models are limited to individual species and expensive phenotype labeling process, making the genotype-to-phenotype prediction a highly domain-dependent and data-scarce problem. To this end, we suggest taking images as morphological proxies, facilitating cross-species generalization through large-scale multimodal pretraining. We propose the first genotype-to-phenotype diffusion model (G2PDiffusion) that generates morphological images from DNA considering two critical evolutionary signals, i.e., multiple sequence alignments (MSA) and environmental contexts. The model contains three novel components: 1) a MSA retrieval engine that identifies conserved and co-evolutionary patterns; 2) an environment-aware MSA conditional encoder that effectively models complex genotype-environment interactions; and 3) an adaptive phenomic alignment module to improve genotype-phenotype consistency. Extensive experiments show that integrating evolutionary signals with environmental context enriches the model's understanding of phenotype variability across species, thereby offering a valuable and promising exploration into advanced AI-assisted genomic analysis.
