Is there a plan, or would you consider, reprocessing the RNA-Seq data or making its fastq data available to the community?
The current gencode-based release is more than 10 years old, and many exon/gene definitions have since changed. Ideally, providing the raw data would allow us in the community to apply processing methods, gene models, and QC criteria that best fit individual use cases.
There is no plan, nor would we consider reprocessing the BrainSpan bulk RNA-Seq data. Some potential opportunities to interact with these data are described in this post.
