Content Regions Description Download
Comprehensive gene annotation CHR
  • It contains the comprehensive gene annotation on the reference chromosomes only
  • This is the main annotation file for most users
 GTF
Long non-coding RNA gene annotation CHR
  • It contains the comprehensive gene annotation of lncRNA genes on the reference chromosomes
  • This is a subset of the main annotation file
 GTF
PolyA feature annotation CHR
  • It contains the polyA features (polyA_signal, polyA_site, pseudo_polyA) manually annotated by HAVANA on the reference chromosomes
  • This dataset does not form part of the main annotation file
 GTF
Consensus pseudogenes predicted by the Yale and UCSC pipelines CHR
  • 2-way consensus (retrotransposed) pseudogenes predicted by the Yale and UCSC pipelines, but not by HAVANA, on the reference chromosomes
  • This dataset does not form part of the main annotation file
 GTF
Predicted tRNA genes CHR
  • tRNA genes predicted by ENSEMBL on the reference chromosomes using tRNAscan-SE
  • This dataset does not form part of the main annotation file
