AssayBench: An Assay-Level Virtual Cell Benchmark for LLMs and Agents

ArXi:2605.10876v1 Announce Type: cross Recent advances in machine learning and large-scale biological data collections have revived the prospect of building a virtual cell, a computational model of cellular behavior that could accelerate biological discovery. One of the most compelling promises of this vision is the ability to perform in silico phenotypic screens, in which a model predicts the effects of cellular perturbations in unseen biological contexts.
