Date: Oct 1996 ftp://www-hgc.lbl.gov/pub/genesets/OtherDataSets/ASHBURNER_97

This directory contains a set unique Drosophila melanogaster coding
region transcripts.

The data sets are:
	unique-50-genes.80.fa
	unique-50-genes.50.fa

These data sets were made from the ./nuclear_cds.embl file at
	ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/edgp/sequence_sets/

to build a unique coding region transcript dataset for i.e. training
coding region predictors. The original nuclear_cds.embl data set was
compiled by Takis Benos (EBI) and Michael Ashburner (EBI & Cambridge)
with help from Aubrey de Grey (Cambridge). Additional Drosophila
melanogaster datasets can be obtained at above ftp site.

BLASTN was used in an all-against-all comparison of the nucleic acid
sequences. From any clump of sequences with an overall identity above
80% (or 50%) only one member was chosen (at random) for inclusion.
