What we do with your data

This depends on the data type.

  1. Genome assemblies:

    1. Use as basis of genome browser

    2. Upload to BLAST

    3. Post in data downloads section

  2. Gene predictions:

    1. Official Gene Sets:

      1. Verify integrity based on the gff3 specification.

      2. Load as track in genome browser (unless requested otherwise)

      3. Fasta files derived from gene predictions (all RNA, CDS, peptides) will be uploaded to Blast (unless requested otherwise)

      4. Post in data downloads section

      5. Generate gene pages

    2. Primary Gene Sets

      1. Load as track in genome browser (unless requested otherwise)

      2. Fasta files derived from gene predictions (all RNA, CDS, peptides) will be uploaded to Blast (unless requested otherwise)

      3. Post in data downloads section

    3. Additional Gene Sets and Annotation Projects

      1. Load as track in genome browser (unless requested otherwise)

      2. We do not regularly post mapped files in our data downloads section. However, we will do so if requested (or approved) by the project coordinator, and if the file size is less than 2 Gb.

      3.  

    4. Manual curation output from Apollo:

      1. If requested and possible, merge finished manual curation project (as determined by project coordinator) with pre-designated gene set to generate an OGS.

  3. Mapped files:

    1. Load as track in genome browser (unless requested otherwise)

    2. We do not regularly post mapped files in our data downloads section. However, we will do so if requested (or approved) by the project coordinator, and if the file size is less than 2 Gb.
