Universal Transcript Archive: comprehensive genome-transcript alignments; multiple transcript sources, versions, and alignment methods; available as a docker image
We choose to self-host the UTA and NCBI PGD files we're using. I think this is a win-win. Biocommons saves on some bandwidth costs while we get to remove an external dependency from our build system. The downside to doing this is that we have to patch the load-uta.sh script to update UTA_PGD_URL. This update would make the base URL configurable. Hopefully others also find this useful.
