   ncgenes.rna.gz  - Non-coding RNA sequences and associated data
   ncgenes.dat.gz    for eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses

as well as small representative subsets of GENES used by the BlastKOALA server
containing KEGG reference genomes and individual sequences linked from pubmed
records of KO entries
