Bmretriever 410M

🚀 BMRetriever-410M

This is a fine - tuned large language model for better biomedical text retrieval, trained on multiple medical datasets.

🚀 Quick Start

This model has been finetuned following the approach described in the paper BMRetriever: Tuning Large Language Models as Better Biomedical Text Retrievers, published in EMNLP 2024. The associated GitHub repository is available here.

This model has 410M parameters. See the paper link for details.

📦 Installation

Pre - trained models can be loaded through the HuggingFace transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("BMRetriever/BMRetriever-410M") 
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("BMRetriever/BMRetriever-410M")

Two important questions are whether all lncRNAs are functional and how they could exert a function. Several lncRNAs have been shown to function through their product, but this is not the only possible mode of action. In this review we focus on a role for the process of lncRNA transcription, independent of the lncRNA product, in regulating protein - coding - gene activity in cis. We discuss examples where lncRNA transcription leads to gene silencing or activation, and describe strategies to determine if the lncRNA product or its transcription causes the regulatory effect."),
    get_detailed_instruct_passage("Noncoding transcription at enhancers: general principles and functional models. Mammalian genomes are extensively transcribed outside the borders of protein - coding genes. Genome - wide studies recently demonstrated that cis - regulatory genomic elements implicated in transcriptional control, such as enhancers and locus - control regions, represent major sites of extragenic noncoding transcription. Enhancer - templated transcripts provide a quantitatively small contribution to the total amount of cellular nonribosomal RNA; nevertheless, the possibility that enhancer transcription and the resulting enhancer RNAs may, in some cases, have functional roles, rather than represent mere transcriptional noise at accessible genomic regions, is supported by an increasing amount of experimental data. In this article we review the current knowledge on enhancer transcription and its functional implications.")
