This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the 
Jan. 2007 freeze of the C. briggsae genome (UCSC version cb3, WUSTL version
1.0).

This assembly was produced by Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) School 
of Medicine Genome Sequencing Center. For more information on the C. briggsae 
genome, see the WUSTL project website at
http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Caenorhabditis+briggsae. 
The sequence data may also be downloaded from:
ftp://genome.wustl.edu/pub/organism/Invertebrates/Caenorhabditis_briggsae/assembly/Caenorhabditis_briggsae-1.0/output/chromosomes/.

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=cb3
    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/cb3/database/. To download multiple 
files, use the "mget" command:

    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 

------------------------------------------------------------------
All the tables in this directory are freely available for public use.
The C. briggsae sequence is made freely available to the community by the
Genome Sequencing Center at the WUSTL School of Medicine. Please see the
WUSTL data use policy at http://genome.wustl.edu/data.cgi for data use
restrictions and citation information.
