COMPASS Model Improves Genetic Perturbation Response Prediction

anshulkundaje · x · 2026-08-28

Rohit Singh highlights research on perturbation prediction via the COMPASS model. The study addresses the paradox where deep learning models often lose to simple baseline averages in predicting perturbation responses. Analyzing 2,270 CRISPRi perturbations across six cell lines, it reveals a conserved organization in responses and proposes an interpretable linear model to decompose shared and gene-specific components.
