This directory contains the Jan. 2007 assembly of the C. brenneri genome (UCSC version caePb1, WUSTL School of Medicine GSC version 4.0) as well as repeat annotations and GenBank sequences. Various strains of this Caenorhabditis are named Caenorhabditis n. sp. 4. PB2801, LKC28, CB5161, SB129, SB280. This assembly was produced by the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL). For more information on the C. brenneri genome, see the project website: http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Caenorhabditis%20brenneri. Files included in this directory: caePb1.2bit - contains the complete C. brenneri/caePb1 genome sequence in the 2bit file format. 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. The utility program, twoBitToFa (available from the kent src tree), can be used to extract .fa file(s) from this file. A pre-compiled version of the command line tool can be found at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ See also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/git.html http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/jk-install.html chromAgp.tar.gz - Description of how the assembly was generated from fragments, unpacking to one file per chromosome. chromFa.tar.gz - The assembly sequence in one file per chromosome. 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. chromFaMasked.tar.gz - The assembly sequence in one file per chromosome. Repeats are masked by capital Ns; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. chromOut.tar.gz - RepeatMasker .out files (one file per chromosome). RepeatMasker was run with the -s (sensitive) setting. April 17 2007 (open-3-1-7) version of RepeatMasker RepBase RELEASE 20061006 chromWMSdust.bed.tar.gz - per-chrom bed files used as repeat areas identified by WindowMasker with the -sdust option. chromTrf.tar.gz - Tandem Repeats Finder locations, filtered to keep repeats with period less than or equal to 12, and translated into UCSC's BED format (one file per chromosome). est.fa.gz - C. brenneri ESTs in GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. md5sum.txt - checksums of files in this directory mrna.fa.gz - C. brenneri mRNA from GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. xenoMrna.fa.gz - GenBank mRNAs from species other than that of the genome. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. caePb1.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 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/caePb1/bigZips. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) ------------------------------------------------------------------ The C. brenneri sequence is made freely available to the community by the Genome Sequencing Center at the WUSTL School of Medicine.
