Vertebrate and Genome Annotation Project

The Vertebrate and Genome Annotation (Vega) project provides manual curation of vertebrate genomes for the scientific community.[1] The Vega data repository is publicly available, regularly updated and includes annotations of several finished vertebrate genome sequences: human, mouse, zebrafish, pig and dog.[2]

The Vega website is built upon the Ensembl codebase.[3] The Vega database is run and developed by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
