# mRNABench, curated

`mRNABench`, as published in quality-curated genomic benchmarks - one format, fixed row order, a permanent ID on every row. 11 datasets, 33 files, 1,413,237 rows, one gzipped CSV per split.

## Getting the data

Two packages are the way in: [`genomic-benchmarks-data`](https://pypi.org/project/genomic-benchmarks-data/) for people, [`genomic-benchmarks-data4agents`](https://pypi.org/project/genomic-benchmarks-data4agents/) for agents, the same functions either way. They resolve the URL, check the checksum, and carry each dataset's QC results, which this repository does not.

```bash
pip install genomic-benchmarks-data
```

```python
from genomic_benchmarks_data import load_dataset

df = load_dataset("mRNABench", "mrl-sample-designed", "train")
```

A number measured on these files belongs on the [leaderboard](https://genomic-benchmarks.github.io/genomic-benchmarks-leaderboard/), which is what makes two of them comparable, and which prints what QC found about a dataset above every table.

- [genomic-benchmarks.github.io](https://genomic-benchmarks.github.io/) - the project: the QC tool, the curated corpus and the leaderboard.
- [github.com/genomic-benchmarks](https://github.com/genomic-benchmarks) - all three as source, and issues.

Files are `v1/<dataset>/<dataset>_<split>.csv.gz`, where `v1` is the version of the data. A dataset whose sequences change appears under a new prefix rather than being rewritten here.

## Every row has an identity

Each file carries two columns the upstream release does not:

- `id` - `<collection>:<dataset>:<version>:<split>:<row index>`, the index zero-padded to 7 digits.
- `row_index` - the row's 0-based position in this file.

Row order is fixed within a major version, so an `id` names the same sequence for as long as that version exists - which is what makes a reported number traceable to what it was computed on. The corpus metadata carries the SHA-256 of every split file, so a copy can be checked against the audited one.
