OMG: An Open MetaGenomic Dataset

The OMG is a 3.1T base pair metagenomic pretraining dataset, combining EMBL's MGnify and JGI's IMG databases. The combined data is pre-processed into a mixed-modality dataset, with translated amino acids for protein coding sequences, and nucleic acids for intergenic sequences.

We make two additional datasets available on the HuggingFace Hub:

• OG: A subset of OMG consisting of high quality genomes with taxonomic information.
• OMG_prot50: A protein-only dataset generated by clustering OMG at 50% sequence identity, resulting in 207M protein sequences.

See https://github.com/TattaBio/OMG for details and example tokenization script.

Use

import datasets

ds = datasets.load_dataset('tattabio/OMG')

To preview the dataset without downloading, load in streaming mode:

import datasets

ds = datasets.load_dataset('tattabio/OMG', streaming=True)['train']
print(next(iter(ds)))

Format

Each row of the dataset represents a genomic scaffold, as an ordered list of amino acid coding sequences (CDS) and nucleotide intergenic sequences (IGS).

Feature	Description	Example
CDS_seqs	A list of strings representing the amino acid CDS sequences.	['MALTKVEKRNR...', 'MLGIDNIERVK...', 'MATIKVKQVR...', 'MNLSNIKPAS...']
IGS_seqs	A list of strings representing the nucleotide IGS sequences.	['AATTTAAGGAA', 'TTTTAAAAGTATCGAAAT', 'TTTTTAAAGAAAA']
CDS_position_ids	A list of integers representing the position of each CDS element in the scaffold.	[1, 3, 5, 6]
IGS_position_ids	A list of integers representing the position of each IGS element in the scaffold.	[0, 2, 4]
CDS_ids	A list of string identifiers for each CDS element.	['7000000126|C1821366|CDS|gene_115413|+|84:437', '7000000126|C1821366|CDS|gene_115414|+|456:977', '7000000126|C1821366|CDS|gene_115415|+|991:1167', '7000000126|C1821366|CDS|gene_115416|+|1168:1689']
IGS_ids	A list of string identifiers for each IGS element.	['7000000126|C1821366|IG|IG_000001|+|73:83', '7000000126|C1821366|IG|IG_000002|+|438:455', '7000000126|C1821366|IG|IG_000003|+|978:990']
CDS_orientations	A list of booleans indicating the orientation of each CDS. True represents the forward strand, and False represents the reverse strand.	[True, True, True, False]

The format for the CDS and IGS id fields is: sample_accession|contig_id|feature_type|gene_id|strand|start:end
