Agents for comp bio are advancing rapidly, but evals are lagging. Current benchmarks can be overly prescriptive. Full analysis vignettes are hard to verify. We introduce CompBioBench: 100 diverse, challenging, verifiable tasks. We benchmark Codex and Claude Code. biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/9

New preprint! Our workflow for processing single cell and nuclei data, called 🎉 scprocess 🎉 We have been working on it for ~18 months now, over which time we have processed at least 2k samples with it, so it has had a decent amount of testing.

Can DNA sequence models predict mutations affecting human traits? We introduce TraitGym, a curated benchmark of causal regulatory variants for 113 Mendelian & 83 complex traits, and evaluate functional genomics and DNA language models. Joint work w/ Gökcen Eraslan and @yun-s-song.bsky.social 🧵👇
