Arc Virtual Cell Challenge: A Primer

This blog post serves as a primer for the Arc Virtual Cell Challenge, explaining the goal of training a model to predict the effect of gene silencing using CRISPR, describing the dataset, the modeling challenge, and the STATE baseline model released by Arc Institute.

From the source

Arc Institute recently unveiled the Virtual Cell Challenge. Participants are required to train a model capable of predicting the effect of silencing a gene in a (partially) unseen cell type, a task they term context generalization.
