# NTv3 Annotation Dataset
Genomes and reference gene annotations behind the NTv3 gene-annotation models
([`NTv3_annot_mammals`](https://huggingface.co/InstaDeepAI/NTv3_annot_mammals),
[`NTv3_annot_plants`](https://huggingface.co/InstaDeepAI/NTv3_annot_plants),
[`NTv3_annot_insects`](https://huggingface.co/InstaDeepAI/NTv3_annot_insects)). It holds two
things:
- **The benchmark**: the 17 test species held out from training (2 mammals, 5 plants,
10 insects). Each species comes with its complete soft-masked genome, the reference
annotation the benchmark scores against, and the reference's every annotated isoform.
The models' own predictions on these genomes are in each model repository's
`annot_results/` folder.
- **The plant tutorial data**: training and validation genomes with per-base labels, used by
the genome-annotation notebooks of the
[`ntv3`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/InstaDeepAI/ntv3) Space
(03a training, 03b decoding, 03c evaluation).

Folders are named by assembly, as in the model repositories' `annot_results/` files.
## Files
- **`genome.fa.gz`**: the soft-masked genome (repeats in lowercase), bgzipped, one record
per sequence, record names cut to the sequence ID. For test species it is the complete
assembly, every contig, with the sequence names of the reference annotation. Tutorial
training and validation genomes keep only the contigs of at least 131,072 bp, the
tutorial's training window.
- **`reference_longest_isoform.gff3.gz`**: the reference the benchmark scores against.
Protein-coding genes only, one transcript per gene (the one with the longest CDS),
`gene`, `mRNA` and `CDS` rows, `ID` and `Parent` attributes only. 1-based closed
coordinates (GFF3).
- **`reference_all_isoforms.gff3.gz`** (test species): the same genes, with every
transcript the source annotation release gives them, in the same format. A prediction
that matches any transcript of a gene counts under the any-isoform rule. When the source
release does not carry a reference transcript's exact CDS, that transcript is kept as
well, so the file is a strict superset of the longest-isoform reference: 171 genes whose
IDs were assigned when the longest isoform was extracted (`agat-gene-*`: 151 immune
receptor gene segments in cow and whale, 15 chloroplast genes, 5 insect genes) and one
transcript in cow (*PEG10*, ID suffixed `.longest_isoform`).
- **`pseudogenes.bed`**: pseudogene regions of the source annotation that do not overlap a
reference CDS. Predicted genes there are ignored when scoring. BED, 0-based half-open.
- **`labels.bed.gz`** (tutorial species): the per-base training labels, one of 15 classes
(`intergenic`, `intron_p0-2`, `CDS_p0-2`, `splice_donor_p0-2`, `splice_acceptor_p0-2`,
`start_codon`, `stop_codon`), as BED runs per strand (`chrom`, `start`, `end`, `class`,
`.`, `strand`), 0-based half-open.
- **`plants/metadata.tsv`**: the tutorial species, their role (`train`, `validation`,
`test`), tier (the tutorial's presets train on tiers 1-2), source, accession and the
chromosome the tutorial evaluates on (`eval_chromosomes`).
- **`plants/class_counts.json`**: per-species base counts of each class. Notebook 03a
derives its loss weights from them, for the genomes it trains on.
- **`plants/class_weights.json`**: those weights precomputed over all the training genomes
(mean inverse class frequency).
- **`demo_log_probs/`** (Medicago): precomputed per-base log-probabilities of
`NTv3_annot_plants` over `NC_053042.1:11,010,048-12,582,912`, decoded in notebook 03b;
`meta.json` records the model, code revision, windows and hardware.
Scores are gene- and CDS-level F1: a predicted gene counts only if its whole CDS structure
matches exactly, predicted genes with less than 201 nt of CDS are ignored, and so are those
in `pseudogenes.bed`. Notebook 03c implements the evaluation.
