AbstractTransformer-based sequence encoding architectures are often limited to a single-sequence input while some tasks require a multi-sequence input. For example, the peptide-MHCII binding prediction task where the input consists of two protein sequences. Current workarounds to solve this input-type mismatch lack resemblance with the biological mechanisms behind the task.

AbstractAntimicrobial resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Concord (S. Concord) is known to cause severe gastrointestinal and bloodstream infections in patients from Ethiopia and Ethiopian adoptees, and occasional records exist of S. Concord linked to other countries. The evolution and geographical distribution of S. Concord remained unclear. Here, we provide a genomic overview of the population structure and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of S.
