Happy to announce the release of TOGA2 data for 68 turtle genomes, generated with a cryptodiran and a pleurodiran turtle reference. The combined TOGA2 annotation consistently improves annotation completeness compared with RefSeq. All data at genome.senckenberg.de/download/TOGA2. Genome browsers ...

And we extended the TOGA2 resources to
- 1011 placental mammal assemblies, covering 788 different species.
- 20 marsupial / monotreme species,
- 865 bird assemblies, covering 812 different species.
All data on genome.senckenberg.de/download/TOG...
We now have genome browsers on our UCSC mirror at genome.senckenberg.de for the 1033 mammal and 866 bird assemblies, showing spliceAi, reference-based and ref-integrated TOGA2 tracks.
Tables with links to all browsers are genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Mammali... & genome.senckenberg.de/TOGA2Aves.html
