Revised eutherian gene collections

Abstract

Objectives: The most recent research projects in scientific field of eutherian comparative genomics included intentions to sequence every extant eutherian species genome in foreseeable future, so that future revisions and updates of eutherian gene data sets were expected. Data description: Using 35 public eutherian reference genomic sequence assemblies and free available software, the eutherian comparative genomic analysis protocol RRID:SCR_014401 was published as guidance against potential genomic sequence errors. The protocol curated 14 eutherian third-party data gene data sets, including, in aggregate, 2615 complete coding sequences that were deposited in European Nucleotide Archive. The published eutherian gene collections were used in revisions and updates of eutherian gene data set classifications and nomenclatures that included gene annotations, phylogenetic analyses and protein molecular evolution analyses.
