TadA-Bench: A Million-Variant Benchmark for Future-Round Discovery Toward Agentic Protein Engineering

AI for scientific discovery is entering an agentic era, where protein-engineering systems are expected to prioritize future wet-lab experiments rather than merely fit static measurements. We introduce TadA-Bench, a million-variant wet-lab replay benchmark from 31 TadA directed-evolution rounds for future-round discovery toward agentic protein engineering. TadA-Bench preserves the campaign chronology and defines a fixed-data replay task: given earlier experimental rounds, models rank variants that appear only in later rounds. It provides aligned DNA, RNA, and protein views, and uses Seq2Graph, a graph-based label-unification pipeline, to reconcile noisy enrichment measurements into consist...
