Description

Rund Tawfiq and co-authors set three whole-web tests for gene fare marks: full, in-step, and clash-free. Stock marks tag one protein at a time, as if each worked lone. True proteins work in webs, where fare hangs on kin and place. Their 2026 tests ask: are core fares all there, do fare chains hold, and do barred pairs stay parted? Hand-kept marks of six model kinds and calls from seven tools are put to the tests.

Hand marks pass most bars. Tool calls fail them as a flock, though their per-protein marks can read fine. The gap is a yard stick: fare calls must be judged as webs, not as tags.
