Does this dataset include RNA sequencing data?

Hi! As a biology student, I am so amazed by what Evo2 trained on this dataset can do. As I am reading the Evo2 paper, I found that in both figure 1A and previous text, the authors stated that the model is trained on the genomic sequence across domains of life. However, in section 2.2, the authors said that "Evo 2 is pre-trained on both DNA and RNA sequences". I am a little confused about whether this training dataset include RNA data, because from the text it seemed like no RNA virus genome is included. Am I wrong about interpreting the paper?
Hello! With that sentence we were referring to the processed eukaryotic mRNA and ncRNA transcripts that we included in the training data.
