| Split | Held-out human genomic intervals under the relevant fold.

Strengths and limitations
Limitations and conditions
- Whole-gene correlation and cell-type specificity answer different questions. The table’s TPM shorthand must not replace the methods definition of log-transformed exon coverage.AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary comparison tables; AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary methods; alphagenome: Journal full-text XML · 'Suppl Table 3 Track performance'!A14:N14; Supplementary Methods pp.22,24, Gene Expression Correlation and 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 8; sheet rows 14; methods: p.19, Training / Pre-training
