This is a major release and update of VastDB with multiple new features:

• Three new species: cow (bosTau6), zebrafish (danRer10) and fruitfly (dm6)
• New data for human, mouse and chicken quantified with vast-tools for hg38, mm10 and galGal4.
• New special datasets:
  • Pre-implantation development for human, mouse and cow (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.25.397794v2).
  • TGCA data for human (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.23.003574v1).
  • Ribosomal-engaged transcriptomes in different neuronal types for mouse (PMID: 31451803).
  • Neural diversity, neurogenesis, neuronal activity and splicing regulation for Drosophila.

• Importantly, VastDB now includes ALL events from vast-tools. Simply type the eventID in the search box.

• Update of functions of events. Now there are 2010 entries for all species from individual references, 410 from CRISPR screens, and 1523 from experimentally validated ELMs.

• Other features:
  • New domain overlap plots and Ensembl isoform mapping and links.

• • Updated gene and exon homology relationships.
  • Updated protein impact predictions (v3).
  • Dedicated UCSC browser with current and future species (ucsc.crg.eu).
  • Update FAQ and Downloads sections.
  • Other improved displays.
