  ## Benchmark Tasks
246
 
247
- ### Coding pathogenicity assessment
248
  Accurate prediction of pathogenic coding variants is fundamental to precision medicine and clinical genomics.
249
  For this task, we use the AlphaMissense dataset~\citep{cheng2023alphamissense}, which provides a comprehensive catalog of coding variants annotated for pathogenicity.
250
 
251
- ### Noncoding pathogenicity assessment
252
  Pathogenic variants in noncoding regions significantly impact gene regulation, influencing many complex traits and diseases.
253
  We assess this using the [BEND dataset](https://github.com/frederikkemarin/BEND), which contains 295,000 annotated single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in noncoding genomic regions.
254
 
255
- ### Expression effect prediction
256
  Variant-driven changes in gene expression contribute to phenotypic diversity and disease processes.
257
  To quantify these effects, we use gene expression data from DeepSea, which provides variant-associated regulatory annotations.
258
 
259
- ### Alternative splicing
260
  Variant-induced alternative splicing contributes significantly to human proteomic diversity and affects biological processes and diseases.
261
  We evaluate splicing-related variant effects using an sQTL dataset derived from sqtlSeeker2, containing over one million variant-tissue pairs.
262
 
263
- ### DNA Methylation
264
  Genomic variants can influence DNA methylation patterns, affecting gene regulation and disease susceptibility.
265
  For this task, we utilize meQTL data from the GRASP database, which links genetic variants to methylation changes.
266
 
267
- ### Ancestry classification
268
  Genomic variation encodes population structure, informing studies in evolutionary biology and disease susceptibility.
269
  To evaluate this capability, we used genomic segments labeled by five major superpopulations from the 1000 Genomes Project.
270
 
271
- ### Common vs synthetic variants
272
  This task evaluates the model’s ability to recognize biologically conserved genomic contexts characteristic of authentic common variants.
273
  To create this deataset, we randomly sampled 100K common variants (MAF > 0.05) from GnomAD~\citep{chen2024gnomad} and paired each with a synthetic control variant generated by randomly substituting a nucleotide within a ±20-nucleotide local context window.
