Source checking is not independent reproduction. Release 2026-10-23-5347695500ed.

Research readiness

0 of 4 readiness checks met. These checks assess whether the evidence supports a reproducible investigation; a source-checked score alone does not meet them.

Verified: Not verified

Readiness describes the evidence in this release. Availability on your computer is checked separately when an investigation runs. Existing data exposure can prevent independent validation even when files are available.

Artifacts and reproduction

No verified artifact manifest is connected to this record yet. The gaps above identify what is needed before analysis can begin.

Subset and evaluation context

This record describes a particular subset or cohort used in an evaluation. Its results do not describe the full dataset.

Evidence

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

Evidence table

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.

Limitations
3 values
  • Screens were selected, not sampled: the criteria include a performance floor for the best LLM on AssayBench, which conditions the test set on LLM-recoverable hits.
  • Hit labels are each screen's own published significance call; the candidate pool G (about 20,000 genes) is larger than each screen library, so genes outside the library cannot be scored.
  • Not linked same_data_as to tgtval-20261009-data-assaybench-test: the 20 screens are a selected subset of AssayBench's post-2021 test pool (Methods 4.2), not the same data, and their identities (Supplementary Table 2) were not matched to AssayBench entries.

Test screens were restricted to genome-wide coverage (18,000-22,000 genes), at least 50 hits with hit rate below 15%, and a best-LLM AnDCG@100 of at least 0.05 (Gemini 3.1 Pro on AssayBench); phenotype categories were allocated from the eligible pool with a soft cap of six per category, and within-category diversity of screen descriptions was maximised.
