AblateCell: A Reproduce-then-Ablate Agent for Virtual Cell Repositories

ArXi:2604.19606v1 Announce Type: new Systematic ablations are essential to attribute performance gains in AI Virtual Cells, yet they are rarely performed because biological repositories are under-standardized and tightly coupled to domain-specific data and formats. While recent coding agents can translate ideas into implementations, they typically stop at producing code and lack a verifier that can reproduce strong baselines and rigorously test which components truly matter.
