LPDP: Variable-Length DNA Generation with Edit Flows

other · 2026-05-13

A novel technique known as Local Perturbation Discrete Programming (LPDP) facilitates reward management during inference for generating DNA sequences of varying lengths through Edit Flows. In contrast to fixed-length models, Edit Flows support biologically relevant insertions, deletions, and substitutions. LPDP functions without training, evaluating one-step root edits, maintaining a nearly optimal root band, and reordering each root by addressing a constrained local discrete program related to its child sequence. This strategy leverages the structured geometry of edit actions to concentrate on cohesive subgraphs and compiles local continuations.

Key facts

  • LPDP is a training-free, intermediate-state and action-aware local re-solving operator
  • It operates on variable-length DNA edit-action generators at inference time
  • Edit Flows enable biologically plausible insertion, deletion, and substitution operations
  • LPDP scores one-step root edits and retains a near-best root band
  • It re-ranks each retained root by solving a bounded local discrete program
  • The local program uses typed geometry of edit actions
  • It focuses on coherent substitution, insertion, or deletion subgraphs
  • The method aggregates local continuations
