Transformer model decodes psilocybin's gene response

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper introduces a Transformer-based model designed to analyze the transcriptional response to psilocybin. This unsupervised model classifies gene expression changes in single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data, achieving 69.4% accuracy. The study found that psilocybin's downregulatory effects on gene expression are more consistent across individuals than its upregulatory effects, and that baseline HTR2A expression does not predict drug response separability as a simple gating mechanism.

    A Transformer-Based Delta Expression Encoder for Psilocybin Transcriptional Response: Architecture, Representations, and Biological Validation

    arXiv:2609.08165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding why individuals respond differently to psilocybin requires modeling the drug's transcriptional perturbation signature at the cell-type level. I present a Transformer-based delta expression encoder that learns to clas…
