The Vertebrate Genomes Project aims to provide annotated reference genome sequences for all vertebrate species. This project contains transcriptome data from various sequencing platforms to support transcript and gene annotation of reference genomes generated by VGP. The raw data are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/about/data_use_policy.
