Carbon Annotation Database and Carbon-A model released

The team behind Carbon-A announced the model and Carbon Annotation Database on October 8, 2026. It says the model found 566.34 million new gene candidates across 22,617 species, thousands of which had never been studied this way. The team says it wet-lab validated a number of the new genes in cats, chickens and arabidopsis with partners Active Site and UCSD. It said more extensive results on previously unstudied genomes were coming soon.
