Public Datasets

RCD hosts a number of widely used publicly available datasets on Indigo, available at /datasets. This eliminates the need for users to consume space in their home, project or scratch spaces.

Please submit a ticket to request changes/additions to this list.

DatasetPathDescription
AlphaFold2/datasets/alphafoldGenetic databases for running AlphaFold2 inferences. Use --data_dir=/datasets/alphafold when running your model. For details about running AlphaFold2, please refer to our software page.
AlphaFold3/datasets/alphafold3Genetic databases for running AlphaFold3 inferences. Use --data_dir=/datasets/alphafold3 when running your model. For details about running AlphaFold3, please refer to our software page.
BLAST/datasets/blast/dbnt,nr,refseq_protein,refseq_rna,swissprot databases for use with NCBI BLAST+. Put export BLASTDB=/datasets/blast/db at the beginning of your batch scripts or in ~/.bashrc to use these databases. For details about running Blast, please refer to our software page.
CheckM2/datasets/CheckM2_database/CheckM2 uses machine learning to assess the quality of metagenome-derived genome bin. For details about running CheckM2, please refer to our software page.
GTDB-Tk/datasets/GTDB-Tk/GTDB-Tk assigns taxonomic classifications to bacterial and archaeal genomes. For details about running GTDB-Tk, please refer to our software page.
iGenomes/datasets/igenomesReference genome sequences download from AWS iGenomes. For use in nf-core Nextflow pipelines, see the usage instructions
ImageNet/datasets/imagenetThe largest data set for visual object recognition software research.
Kraken2/datasets/kraken2Kraken2 is used for fast taxonomic assignments of Metagenomic sequencing reads. Multiple collections are available: pluspfp, pracken, and standard. For details on running kraken2, please refer to our software page
