CANARY ATLAS / EVIDENCE

Human evidence meets cellular biology.

ATLAS-HUMAN and ATLAS-CELL form a shared evidence stack for adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.

ATLAS-HUMAN + ATLAS-CELL

Biology, hardware, and compute.

A shared evidence stack for adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.

Five transparent layers representing the Atlas biological evidence stack
OpenAI reasoning
Integrate evidence and delivery criteria.
Causal evidence
Genetics and perturbations guide testing.
Representation
Model adipocyte and muscle states.
Evidence preparation
Curate, harmonize, and annotate.
Data
Human genetics, cell assays, images, and sequences.

Human relevance and cellular response inform each nomination.

ATLAS-HUMAN + ATLAS-CELL

Human relevance. Cellular response.

ATLAS-HUMAN

Human genetics and curated evidence help establish relevance to disease. This layer informs which biological mechanisms warrant testing in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.

ATLAS-CELL

Perturbation and phenotyping examine what changes when target activity is altered. Cellular response is considered alongside human evidence before a target is nominated.

THE EVIDENCE STACK

From biological data to a testable hypothesis.

  1. 01

    Data

    Human genetics, cell assays, images, and sequences provide complementary views of biology.

  2. 02

    Evidence preparation

    Curate, harmonize, and annotate the inputs so their biological context can inform interpretation.

  3. 03

    Representation

    Model adipocyte and muscle states to connect measurements with the tissue biology under study.

  4. 04

    Causal evidence

    Genetics and perturbations support causal hypotheses for testing. Associations alone do not establish that changing a target will produce a therapeutic effect.

  5. 05

    Reasoning and nomination

    Integrate the evidence with delivery criteria, then identify a next experiment for scientist review.

DECISION CRITERIA

A nomination needs more than a signal.

Human signal

Does the available human evidence support the disease mechanism being investigated?

Cell response

Does changing target activity produce a relevant, measurable cellular response?

Delivery fit

Can the intended cargo and tissue be addressed within the HYPER-15™ delivery design?

Atlas is designed to bring these questions together. New experimental measurements update the evidence and guide whether to advance, hold, or reject a hypothesis.
