+# Promoter Sequences for Maize NAM lines
+
+The data in this dataset has the promoter sequences for **26 Maize NAM lines** and has been used for the finetuning step of [`Florabert`](https://huggingface.co/Gurveer05/FloraBERT). It has been created by processing the raw fasta files and the gff3 files from [`MaizeGDB`](https://www.maizegdb.org/) for the 26 NAM lines.
+*samtools* and *bedtools* have been used to extract the promoter sequences from these that are 1kb upstream of the sequence.
+
+The data has been split into train and test data (70-30 split). In all, there are ~ 1 million sequences across the files. The steps followed to obtain this data are available in this [`Github Repository`](https://github.com/gurveervirk/florabert).
