Additional data for "A close unicellular relative reveals aggregative multicellularity was

Additional data associated with the bioRxiv preprint 'A close unicellular relative reveals aggregative multicellularity was key to the evolution of animals'. The dataset includes functional annotation output files and scripts for the unicellular organism Ministeria vibrans, alongside files for RNA-sequencing data analysis. The RNA-sequencing reads are deposited at the NCBI SRA under BioProject PRJNA1229532.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on functional annotation files.
• Transcriptomic studies of unicellular relatives of animals using the RNA-sequencing analysis files.
• Reproducing bioinformatic workflows for the associated preprint using the provided scripts.

Strengths

• Data is directly associated with a peer-reviewed preprint (doi: 10.1101/2025.05.14.654023).
• Includes both processed annotation outputs and raw data analysis files.
• Raw RNA-sequencing reads are archived in a public repository (NCBI SRA PRJNA1229532).
• Dataset size is 255.0 MB, indicating substantial content.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data structure and completeness require manual inspection of the ZIP and PDF files.
