State (Arc Institute perturbation model)

Predicts how cells will respond to a drug or gene knockout, trained on over 100 million perturbed cells.

State (2025) pairs a state-transition model trained on 100M+ perturbed cells (including Tahoe-100M) with a cell-embedding model from 167M human cells; the reference entry for Arc's Virtual Cell Challenge.

How it works

Transformer predicting expression shifts conditioned on perturbation and cell context.

Strengths
  • Largest perturbation training set
  • Context generalisation
Limitations
  • Cell-line data; in vivo transfer unproven
Since
