The Arc Institute has launched the Virtual Cell Challenge, a new open competition to benchmark computational models that predict how human cells respond to genetic perturbations. Announced today and published in Cell (Vol. 188, Issue 13), the challenge invites AI and computational biology researchers to submit predictive models for scoring on a live leaderboard, using single-cell RNA sequencing data from human embryonic stem cells.
