Georgia Channing(@cgeorgiaw):Today, we're releasing the Carbon Annotation Database and the model behind it, Carbon-A. We've used this model to discover 566.34 million new gene candidates across 22,617 species, thousands of which have never been studied like this before. We wet-lab validated a number of these new genes in well-studied species, such as in cats, chicken, and arabidopsis (plant), with our partners at Active Site and @UCSD, with more extensive wet lab results on previously-unstudied genomes coming soon.
