  # Unified Human Gene Embeddings

20
  A standardized, multimodal collection of **68 gene-level representation matrices** aligned to a common universe of **20,097 human protein-coding genes**.
21
 
22
- The resource brings together representations derived from protein, DNA, RNA and mature mRNA sequences; bulk and single-cell expression; perturbational and functional-genomics data; biomedical literature; protein-protein interaction networks; ontologies; pathways; knowledge graphs; regulatory prediction models; and single-cell foundation-model checkpoints.

The collection is intentionally marked `license: other`: no single blanket license covers every source-derived matrix. In particular, the AlphaGenome-derived representation requires separate review of the applicable API/output terms before public redistribution or downstream model training. The packaged files are gene-level representations and metadata, not raw patient-level data.

- ## Why this resource exists
43
 
44
- Gene embeddings are fixed numerical vectors representing gene identity. Different construction methods encode different biological priors: amino-acid sequence, nucleotide sequence, transcript structure, expression, function, literature, interaction networks, pathways, regulatory activity, or knowledge learned by foundation models.
45
 
46
  These representations are difficult to compare directly because they are distributed across many sources, use different identifier systems, cover different subsets of genes, have different dimensions, and are released in incompatible formats. This project creates a common interface so that the same genes can be compared across otherwise unrelated representation spaces.

410
- - representational-similarity analysis;
411
- - modality comparison;
412
- - nearest-neighbor and gene-module exploration;
413
- - linear probing and downstream gene-property prediction;
414
- - multimodal feature fusion;
415
- - perturbation-response modeling;
416
- - controlled comparisons of gene-token priors in transcriptomic models;
417
- - development of methods for missing-modality prediction or cross-space alignment.
418
-
419
- Users should make task-specific choices. Literature-derived embeddings may encode annotation and research-attention bias; network embeddings inherit source-network ascertainment; sequence models depend on sequence and transcript selection; expression-derived vectors are context-dependent; and checkpoint embeddings may reflect the model vocabulary and training corpus rather than universal gene biology.
