Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.

Inspect claims, sources and review details
Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.
One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

- version
- Two models trained with identical settings and averaged (bioRxiv v1 Methods); code release v2.0
- parameters
- 196,608 bp sense-strand input with species one-hot; about 13 million trainable parameters per model; donor, acceptor and junction usage; shared candidate splice sites for both alleles and both models; summary score is the maximum of donor gain, donor loss, acceptor gain and acceptor loss deltas
- training overlap
- Trained on all human genes except those on chromosomes 21 and 22 (held out for validation). The variant benchmarks are genome-wide, so most benchmark variants lie in genes seen in training. Supplementary Table 1 lists GTEx among the recount3 human training sources; the paper does not say whether junctions observed in the GTEx benchmark samples were removed from training.
- access reuse
