4.1 bowtie2 index

nASAP uses bowtie2 for aligning reads to reference genome. Go to bowtie2 website to download a built-in index for your species.

The genomic version of the selected bowtie2 corresponds to the genomic version of the gtf file. I recommend that you download the bowtie2 index of the latest version of the genome of each species, because ensembl provides the gtf file of the latest version of the genome by default.

4.2 gtf file

Visit the Ensembl website to download the gtf file of the specie you need.

4.3 source file

We collected and collated transcription factor and enhancer target regulatory network data for 13 species from the UniBind database and the Animal-eRNAdb database and provided download links to select the species you need.
