This directory contains the Btau_1.0 cow genome assembly (bosTau1, Sep. 2004) produced by the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center. For more information about these data, see the Baylor web page at http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/projects/bovine/. Files in this directory include: bosTau1.hardmask.fa.gz Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown as Ns; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. bosTau1.softmask.fa.gz Repeats from RepeatMasker are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. bosTau1.softmask2.fa.gz Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. RepeatMasker July 2004 version with RepBase libraries: RepBase Update 9.04, RM database version 20040702. est.fa.gz - Cow ESTs in GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. md5sum.txt - MD5 checksum of these files to verify correct transmission. mrna.fa.gz - Cow mRNA from GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. scaffoldAgp.zip - Description of how the assembly was generated from fragments. Downloaded from Baylor Sept. 30, 2004. scaffoldFa.zip - Sequences downloaded from Baylor Sept. 30, 2004. bosTau1.chrom.sizes - Two-column tab-separated text file containing assembly sequence names and sizes. ------------------------------------------------------------- If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend 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/bosTau1/bigZips. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) Please review the restrictions on the use of the cow assembly data at http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/projects/conditions_for_use.html.
