Effective Biological Representation Learning by Masking Gene Expression
Kian Kenyon-Dean, Alina Selega, Ihab Bendidi +5
RNA sequencing produces rich and diverse datasets of gene expression, offering compelling insights into cellular state and function that have many applications in drug discovery. M…
XFACTORS: Disentangled Information Bottleneck via Contrastive Supervision
Alexandre Myara, Nicolas Bourriez, Thomas Boyer +3
Disentangled representation learning aims to map independent factors of variation to independent representation components. On one hand, purely unsupervised approaches have proven…
A Cross Modal Knowledge Distillation & Data Augmentation Recipe for Improving Transcriptomics Representations through Morphological Features
Ihab Bendidi, Yassir El Mesbahi, Alisandra K. Denton +4
Understanding cellular responses to stimuli is crucial for biological discovery and drug development. Transcriptomics provides interpretable, gene-level insights, while microscopy…
TxPert: Leveraging Biochemical Relationships for Out-of-Distribution Transcriptomic Perturbation Prediction
Frederik Wenkel, Wilson Tu, Cassandra Masschelein +12
Accurately predicting cellular responses to genetic perturbations is essential for understanding disease mechanisms and designing effective therapies. Yet exhaustively exploring th…
Benchmarking Transcriptomics Foundation Models for Perturbation Analysis : one PCA still rules them all
Ihab Bendidi, Shawn Whitfield, Kian Kenyon-Dean +4
Understanding the relationships among genes, compounds, and their interactions in living organisms remains limited due to technological constraints and the complexity of biological…
ViTally Consistent: Scaling Biological Representation Learning for Cell Microscopy
Kian Kenyon-Dean, Zitong Jerry Wang, John Urbanik +10
Large-scale cell microscopy screens are used in drug discovery and molecular biology research to study the effects of millions of chemical and genetic perturbations on cells. To us…
