Promoter Sequences for Various plant species

The data in this dataset has the promoter sequences for 241 different plant species and has been used for the pretraining step of Florabert. It has been created by processing the raw fasta files and the gff3 / gff files from Ensembl and Refseq. samtools and bedtools have been used to extract the promoter sequences from these that are 1kb upstream of the sequence.

The data has been split into train and test data (90-10 split). In all, there are ~ 10 million sequences across the split files. The steps followed to obtain this data are available in this Github Repository.
