This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments
of 8 Caenorhabditis nematode genomes to the C. elegans genome.

Files in this directory are:
    nematode.mod  phastCons tree model with branch lengths
                        for all 9 nematode species
	    ce10 caeSp91 caeRem4 caePb3 caeSp71 cb4 caeSp111 caeJap4 caeAng1
(elegans, sp. 9, remanei, brenneri, sp. 7, briggsae, sp. 11, japonica, angaria)

    ce10.phastCons9way.wigFix.gz phastCons scores for 9 species
    ce10.phastCons9way.bw phastCons scores for 9 species in bigWig format

    md5sum.txt - md5 check sums of these files to verify correct download files

To download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend 
that you use rsync or ftp rather than downloading the files via our website.
There is approximately 8.5 Gb of compressed data in this directory.

Via rsync:
rsync -av --progress \
	rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/ce10/phastCons9way/ ./

Via FTP:
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/ce10/phastCons9way

To download multiple files from the UNIX command line, use the "mget" command. 
    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 
Use the "prompt" command to toggle the interactive mode if you do not want 
to be prompted for each file that you download.
