Claim

PerturbAI launched with the largest in vivo CRISPR atlas, an eight-million-cell brain-wide dataset capturing real biological circuitry in living tissue, while Xaira's X-Cell trained on 25.6 million perturbed cells to predict gene expression changes across unseen biology.

Reported metric: 8M / 25.6M cells
