85%+ of BATv1 Genomics Model Training Data Comes From Cell Lines, Author Notes

Discussing the BATv1 transcription factor-accessibility models, author jmschreiber91 highlights a key coverage limitation: over 85% of the underlying experiments come from cell lines rather than primary tissues. Charts show heavy skew — ChIP-seq has 2,931 cell-line experiments (dominated by HepG2, K562, A549) while organoids have almost none. Like BPNet, BATv1 still covers a wide variety of TF families, but generalization to real tissues remains questionable.
