# Promoter Sequences and Corresponding Gene Expression data for Maize NAM lines

The data in this dataset has the promoter sequences and the corresponding gene expression data as TPM values for **26 Maize NAM lines** and has been used for the finetuning step *(for the downstream task of gene expression prediction)* of [`Florabert`](https://huggingface.co/Gurveer05/FloraBERT).

The data has been split into train, test and eval data (70-20-10 split). In all, there are ~ 7,00,000 entries across the files. The steps followed to obtain this data are available in this [`Github Repository`](https://github.com/gurveervirk/florabert). 

The labels correspond to the TPM values for the various tissues in the order: [
    'tassel', 
    'base', 
    'anther', 
    'middle', 
    'ear', 
    'shoot', 
    'tip', 
    'root' 
]. The sequences that have been used are the promoter sequences for genes of Maize NAM lines that have at least 1 TPM value for a tissue > 1.
