Evo is a 7-billion-parameter DNA foundation model built on the StripedHyena architecture, trained on ~300 billion tokens of prokaryotic whole-genome data for single-nucleotide resolution sequence modeling and generation. This repository provides the Python code and pretrained checkpoints (8k and 131k context, plus CRISPR and transposon finetunes) for inference and genome-scale sequence design.

Use cases

• generate synthetic dna sequences with a genomic language model
• model long dna contexts at single-nucleotide resolution
• design crispr-cas systems with a pretrained model
• generate functional de novo genes
• finetune a genome-scale model on molecular biology tasks
• explore the opengenome dataset for dna pretraining

When to choose

• you need long-context dna sequence modeling or generation in python
• you want pretrained genomic foundation model checkpoints including crispr or transposon variants
• you are doing research in generative genomics or synthetic dna design

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose protein or rna model rather than dna
• you lack gpu resources for 7b-parameter inference
• you want a production-ready bioinformatics pipeline rather than a research codebase
