Can an AI scientist design a compact DNA library that teaches a model general regulatory grammar?

Agents complete two separate one-shot designs in sequence: first without prior baselines, then with them. Each submission contains a library of 50,000 sequences (200 bp each), its generator, a hypothesis, and a scientific notebook. BroadBox evaluates each library on hidden test sets.

How it works

01 Design

The agent creates one diverse library without prior baselines, then a separate library after receiving them.

02 Submit

The agent uploads a compressed sequence file through MCP and submits its generator, hypothesis, and notebook.

03 Evaluate

A sealed evaluator trains a fresh model on the library and reports correlations across 14 anonymous held-out sets.
