Leandro von Werra@lvwerraPickCarbon-A open model and database predict 566 million gene candidates across 22,617 speciesAICarbon-A is an open model that predicts gene locations directly from DNA, and it has been used to annotate genomes from over 22,000 species. The release includes a database of 566 million gene candidates, about 16 times the gene annotations in the RefSeq dataset. Wet-lab RNA experiments supported 239 candidates missing from RefSeq across cats, Syrian hamsters, chickens, and Arabidopsis.
Thomas Wolf@Thom_WolfPickCarbon-A open model and database find 566 million candidate genes across 22,617 speciesAIThomas Wolf says Carbon-A, an open model that finds genes directly in DNA, has been released with a database of 566.34 million candidate genes across 22,617 species. The team reports wet-lab validation of several new genes in cats, chickens and arabidopsis, and RNA evidence for 239 genes missing from reference annotations of common species.
