Limitations and conditions

  • This is a fine-tuned comparison head, not the generic distilled variant model. Scaling and resolution differ from the separate base-resolution RNA endpoint.AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary comparison tables; AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary methods; alphagenome: Journal full-text XML · 'Suppl Table 3 Track performance'!A12:N12; Supplementary Methods p.24, Benchmarking Against Borzoi Track Predictions; methods: pp.21–22, Genome Track Evaluation / Gene Expression Correlation; methods: p.24, Benchmarking Against Borzoi Track Predictions; paper: Extended Data Fig.3c,d; tables: Suppl Table 3 Track performance; evaluation index 6; sheet rows 12; methods: p.19, Training / Pre-training
  • This is an author-reported protocol, not a rewire rerun.
