This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the April 2003 human genome assembled by NCBI (UCSC version hg15). Files included in this directory (updated nightly): - *.sql files: the MySQL commands used to create the tables. To see descriptions of the tables underlying Genome Browser annotation tracks, select the table in the Table Browser: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?db=hg15 and click the "describe table schema" button. There is also a "view table schema" link on the configuration page for each track. - *.txt.gz files: the database tables in a tab-delimited format compressed with gzip. ------------------------------------------------------------ If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend that you use ftp rather than downloading the files via our website. To do so, ftp to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu, then go to the directory goldenPath/hg15/database. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) All the annotations in this directory are freely usable for any purpose except for the following: softberryGene.txt and softberryPep.txt - Free for academic and nonprofit use. Commercial users please contact Softberry Inc. at http://www.softberry.com. Swiss-Prot data in knownGene.txt - The Swiss-Prot entries in the Known Genes annotation track are copyrighted. They are produced through a collaboration between the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and the EMBL Outstation - the European Bioinformatics Institute. There are no restrictions on their use by non-profit institutions as long as their content is in no way modified and this statement is not removed.
