Sequence-to-Function (S2F) foundation models are revolutionizing genomic research, yet their fragmented ecosystem severely bottlenecks practical application by incompatible inputs, outputs, and runtime environments. General-purpose coding agents lack the strict domain constraints necessary to resolve these biological intricacies safely. Here, we present s2f-agent, a skill-grounded agent orchestration system that translates open-ended genomics queries into reproducible, executable analysis. By integrating canonical input keys, task-specific playbooks, and normalized contracts, s2f-agent unifies workflows across 11 state-of-the-art models, including AlphaGenome, Borzoi, and Evo 2. Validated through rigorous routing and groundedness evaluations, s2f-agent bridges the critical gap between complex model architectures and practical utility, effectively transforming an unwieldy ecosystem into an accessible operational layer for researchers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
