This directory contains the March 2006 Zv6 freeze of the zebrafish genome (danRer4) obtained from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and produced by a collaboration between the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany, the Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology (Hubrecht Laboratory), Utrecht, The Netherlands and Yi Zhou and Leonard Zon from the Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. 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=danRer4 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/danRer4/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Zv6 zebrafish sequence data were produced by the Zebrafish Sequencing Group at the Sanger Institute and can be obtained directly from ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/assembly/zebrafish/Zv6release/. All sequence data are made available before scientific publication with the understanding that the groups involved in generating the data intend to publish the initial large-scale analyses of the dataset. This will include a summary detailing the data that have beeen generated and key features of the genome identified from genomic assembly and clone mapping/sequencing. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
