CytoWave predicts a cell’s post-perturbation gene expression from its starting expression profile and the genetic perturbation. It first learns reference cell states, then pretrains on perturbation responses using direct prediction and contrastive alignment. On stimulated DatlingerBock2017, CytoWave-S2 scores 0.330 ± 0.002 ΔPCC20 versus 0.300 ± 0.008 for S1, after dataset-specific fine-tuning; this comparison does not isolate alignment’s effect.
