Vertebrate and Genome Annotation Project
Encyclopedia
The Vertebrate and Genome Annotation (Vega) project provides manual curation of vertebrate
genomes for the scientific community. The Vega data repository is publicly available, regularly updated and includes annotations of several finished vertebrate genome sequences: human, mouse, zebrafish, pig and dog.
The Vega website is built upon the Ensembl
codebase. The Vega database is run and developed by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
