A DNA-Local, Constraint-Aware Dual-Head Transformer for Pseudorandom Stream Generation.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) used in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-oriented computational workflows often generate outputs in the bit domain and then map them to DNA symbols. This indirect strategy may treat DNA-specific constraints, including GC balance, homopolymer limits, and short-range sequence dependencies, as separate from generation. This study proposes a constraint-aware, dual-head decoder-only Transformer framework for DNA-local PRNG generation directly in the adenine/cytosine/guanine/thymine (A/C/G/T) alphabet. The model generates the next DNA base and derives the bitstream through dynamic selection among eight equivalent DNA-to-bit coding rules. The framework was evaluated under R1 based on real genomic data, R1-ext as independent validation, R2 based on synthetic data, and R3 without training or reference data. For each setting, 10 independent runs were performed, each producing a 500,000-base DNA sequence and a 1,000,000-bit stream. Bit-level evaluation used NIST SP 800-22, SP 800-90B-inspired min-entropy/health indicators, and ENT, while DNA-level evaluation used GC balance, homopolymer control, and symbolic structural metrics. The reported NIST tests satisfied the acceptance criterion, t-tuple min-entropy lower bounds ranged from 0.9955 to 0.9964 bit/bit, and core DNA-compatibility constraints were preserved. Multi-stream and exact-match k-mer leakage analyses indicated no systematic bit-level dependence or direct long-fragment copying. Overall, the framework supports reproducible DNA-local PRNG generation and multilayer validation.
