This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments
      of 11 genomes to the Danio rerio/danRer10/Sept. 2014 zebrafish genome.

Files in this directory are:
    danRer10.phastCons12way.mod  phastCons tree model with branch lengths
                        for the the sequences
    danRer10.phastCons12way.wigFix.gz - phastCons scores for all the
                        alignments in fixed step wiggle format
    danRer10.phastCons12way.bw - phastCons scores for all the alignments
                        in bigWig format
    md5sum.txt - md5 sums of the files here to verify accurate download
