Moz Domain Authority 42/100 vs category average 40 / leader 95 - a strong backlink profile, so AI systems frequently encounter mentions of the brand.
Ranked #1,357,895 on the Tranco list of most-visited sites - modest traffic makes the brand easy for AI models to overlook.
GENCODE appears on Wikipedia but without a dedicated company entity, so AI models can confuse it with similarly named subjects.
The homepage meta description reads "To provide accurate, comprehensive gene annotation for the human and mouse genomes to support genomic research." (No meta description) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.
Structured data on the homepage: No structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Adding Organization and FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
AI-crawler access: No robots.txt found (default: all bots allowed, but explicit file preferred) - robots.txt controls whether engines like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the site at all.
Social footprint: verified profiles on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram; no detected presence on YouTube, GitHub - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.
Live results from asking a general-purpose AI assistant about the brand, checked October 2026.
When asked "What is GENCODE?", Claude could identify the brand as of October 2026. GENCODE is a scientific project that produces reference gene annotation for the human and mouse genomes, including protein-coding genes, non-coding RNAs, and pseudogenes. It's a collaboration involving institutes like the Wellcome Sanger Institute and EMBL-EBI, and its annotation Best known for Producing the comprehensive reference gene annotation sets for human and mouse genomes used throughout genomics research.
When asked "Best brands similar to GENCODE?", Claude would recommend GENCODE as of October 2026. It's a foundational, widely trusted resource in genomics and bioinformatics, so it would naturally come up when discussing gene annotation databases.

GENCODE scores 34/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
GENCODE has a weak AI-visibility profile at 34/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (41/100) and its weakest is trust (26/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #1,357,895 (Tranco) and a Moz Domain Authority of 42/100. The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check, Claude could already identify GENCODE from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
The score combines seven dimensions - name quality, digital presence, visual identity, messaging clarity, trust foundation, AI discoverability, and brand authority - into a single objective benchmark.
Ranked closest to GENCODE: The Center (LGBT Community Center) (69/100), GATLA (69/100), Genesis Molecular AI (69/100), George & Matilda Eyecare (69/100).
A step up - brands to learn from: Zentralwohlfahrtsstelle der Juden in Deutschland e.V. (71/100), ZT Corporate (71/100).
Category leader: Booksy (96/100).
