Content The provided tables contain meta data which allows for high level analysis of a wide variety of sequenced genomes for multi cell organisms ranging from humans to corn, as we as bacteria and viruses. The tables also contain links to the actual genome sequence data via the 'GenBank FTP' and 'RefSeq FTP' columns. Links in these columns can provide users with the assembled genomes for over 10,000 different species. Summary statistics are also provided, including the taxonomic classification for each organism and information about the size of the genome (in [megabases - mb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_pair)) and the [GC content](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC-content) of the genome. Acknowledgements These data are taken from the [National Center for Biotechnology Information](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) where they have been made publicly available by the large number of researchers who contributed to the construction of these genomes. Inspiration The data allow for an exploration of the distribution of species with sequenced genomes across the animal kingdom. The provided tables contain meta data which allows for high level analysis of sequenced genomes, as well as links to the actual genome sequence data via the 'GenBank FTP' and 'RefSeq FTP' columns.
