Medical image encoders from different groups are increasingly treated as interchangeable, on the assumption that scale and clinical supervision concentrate their representations onto a shared structure. Whether this convergence is real, what produces it, and whether it is clinica…
The function of many genes is still unknown, and conventional driver-discovery methods, which rely on how frequently a gene is mutated, cannot assess genes that are only rarely affected. Here we pair Evo~2-based genome analysis with routine clinical imaging to identify gene--phen…
Machine learning models for medical image analysis typically lack a reliable measure of confidence, limiting their use in ambiguous or atypical cases. Here we show that Monte Carlo dropout, applied to a multi-task chest-radiograph classifier (eight thoracic findings, 137,593 trai…
Computational pathology foundation models (PFMs) have advanced whole-slide image analysis. However, their size and inference cost hinder local deployment in pathology departments. We propose MuCoDi, a pretraining framework that distills frozen tile embeddings from multiple PFMs i…
