Methods and evaluation design

Procedure, tasks and evaluated configurations

How it works

Evaluation methodology

Experimental DMS variant-effect measurements across activity, binding, expression, organismal fitness and stability categories. The downstream assay evaluation is described as zero-shot; a separate approximation-model training partition must not be treated as the assay test split. Spearman rank correlation compares measured variant effects with model scores; Table I groups substitution assays by functional category. CARP, ESM-1v, Progen2 M, RITA L and Tranception L without retrieval use baseline data sourced from ProteinGym; ESM2 scoring variants are also compared. The cited text-accessible evaluation sections give no confidence-interval, resampling or repeat-run error-bar specification. Image-only tables and uninspected supplements are outside this absence claim.

Recorded evaluations

Each evaluation records what was tested and under which conditions.

Run instructions

No runnable recipe has been reviewed for this task. Dataset access, model requirements, licences and compute requirements must be checked against its sources before execution.

Strengths, limitations and unresolved questions

Strengths and limitations

Strengths and considerations

No source-reviewed explanatory claims are recorded here yet.

Limitations and conditions

  • This record concerns substitution assays, separate from the indel and other demonstrations. The OFS-training identity filter does not certify that the ESM-2 pretraining corpus is independent of the benchmark.

entity classification
review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped record identifies the biological prediction task and holds its paper context. Preserve the existing task identity; exact split, model adaptation and scoring remain in linked evaluations or separate protocol records.; source ids: esm2-ofs-fitness-2025; source locator: ProteinGym evaluation section and Table I; PDF text lines 346–369 and Table I caption; ambiguities: A paper- or suite-specific task may constrain some inputs or metrics; that alone does not make it interchangeable with a complete versioned protocol. No protocol equivalence is inferred.; Some legacy profile Entity type facts use the generic phrase computational evaluation protocol. That boilerplate is not sufficient to establish a single fixed protocol identity or to merge this task with another protocol record.
