This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the Mar. 2004 freeze of the C. elegans genome from WormBase (ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/wormbase/WS120/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=ce2 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/ce2/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - 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. elegans 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.
