Strengths and limitations
Limitations and conditions
- ClinVar pathogenicity is not an experimentally isolated splicing label. Boundary text differs in strict/inclusive wording between methods and Fig3h; use the released category labels rather than inventing edge-case membership.AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary comparison tables; AlphaGenome Nature 2026 supplementary methods; alphagenome: Journal full-text XML · 'Suppl Table 4 Variant performan'!A4:P4; Supplementary Methods p.30, Chromosome Splits for Variant Benchmarks; Supplementary Methods pp.30–31, ClinVar Variants; methods: pp.30–31, ClinVar Variants; paper: Fig.3h; methods: p.30, Chromosome Splits for Variant Benchmarks; paper: Fig.1e; tables: Suppl Table 4 Variant performan; evaluation index 3; sheet rows 4
