Carbon-A open model finds 566 million candidate genes across 22,617 species
AIThe team released Carbon-A, an open model that finds genes directly in DNA, along with a database of 566.34 million candidate genes across 22,617 species. The model reads genomes without needing a close relative, and wet-lab validation in cats, chickens, and arabidopsis is cited, with 239 genes found missing from reference annotations of common species. The authors say the model marks gene locations but does not design DNA or predict gene function.
