  "summary": "Perturbational transcriptomics is a powerful tool for understanding gene function and drug effects, yet predicting how perturbations manifest across different biological contexts remains a central challenge, limiting translation from model systems to clinically relevant tissues. Despite growing interest in this problem, benchmarking efforts have been hindered by inconsistent evaluation tasks,…",
