PantheonOS Now Tackles Gene Panel Design
Gene panel selection represents a critical bottleneck in spatial and single-cell genomics, where suboptimal choices compromise cell-type resolution and experimental validity.
Pantheon automates this end-to-end via multi-agent workflow orchestration. A leader agent orchestrates the full pipeline, delegating to specialized analyzers that dynamically route tools and benchmark strategies in real time โ enabling long-horizon, autonomous discovery.
What can Pantheon do?
๐งฌ Multi-strategy gene selection โ orchestrating parallel selection strategies to synthesize a single optimized panel.
๐ Clustering-aware optimization and biological grounding โ directly maximizing ARI/NMI metrics while grounding decisions in domain knowledge, for panels that are both statistically and biologically meaningful.
๐ Self-documenting, reproducible runs โ generating live notebooks, agent traces, and automated PDF reports with zero manual intervention. Unless you want to interact with it!
Benchmarked on pan-cancer immuno-oncology with @Vizgen, PantheonOS achieves superior overlap with expert-curated panels while outperforming classical baselines on clustering metrics.
Built on PantheonOS โ the first evolvable, multi-agent operating system for biological discovery. Genomics is the beginning; the architecture goes beyond, and PantheonOS is fine-tunable for domain-specific scientific research.
