PlasmidGPT is a generative language-model framework trained on 153,000 engineered plasmid sequences from Addgene, designed to generate de novo plasmid DNA while keeping low sequence identity to training data. The authors show that it can produce plasmid sequences in a controlled way using either an input sequence or explicit design constraints, and that it learns embeddings enabling efficient prediction of multiple sequence-related attributes across engineered and natural plasmids. The main caveat noted is implicit in the reliance on the Addgene plasmid corpus, which may constrain the range of sequence characteristics it can learn and generate. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

We introduce PlasmidGPT, a generative language model pretrained on 153k engineered plasmid sequences from Addgene. PlasmidGPT generates de novo sequences that share similar characteristics with engineered plasmids but show low sequence identity to the training data. We demonstrate its ability to generate plasmids in a controlled manner based on the input sequence or specific design constraint. Moreover, our model learns informative embeddings of both engineered and natural plasmids, allowing for efficient prediction of a wide range of sequence-related attributes.
