Unique placeholder IDs for each gene, transcript and exon model in the "UMD CASPUR WD 2.0" annotation of the water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) genome assembly

The "UMD CASPUR WD 2.0" annotation of the water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) genome assembly, as published by Williams, et al. (PMCID: PMC5737279), does not yet have a standardised set of placeholder IDs for each gene, transcript and exon model. We used the transcripts from this assembly as the basis of a large-scale gene-level expression atlas for the water buffalo. To aid in the presentation of findings, we assigned - where unavailable - placeholder IDs to all gene, transcript and exon models of this annotation. This dataset comprises this standard nomenclature, alongside coordinates of each gene, transcript and exon.
