This file is from: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/phyloP8way/README.txt This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values) from the PHAST package (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/) for multiple alignments of 7 vertebrate genomes to the zebrafish genome, plus alternate sets of scores for a subset of five fish species in the alignments. Files in this directory are: vertebrate.mod phyloP tree model with branch lengths for all 8 species hg19 mm9 xenTro2 tetNig2 fr2 gasAcu1 oryLat2 danRer7 (human, mouse, X. tropicalis, tetraodon, fugu, stickleback, medaka, zebrafish) fish.mod phastCons tree model for the fish subset: tetNig2 fr2 gasAcu1 oryLat2 danRer7 (tetraodon, fugu, stickleback, medaka, zebrafish) vertebrate.phyloP8way.wigFix.gz phyloP scores for all 8 species vertebrate.phyloP8way.bw phyloP scores for all 8 species in bigWig format fish.phyloP8way.wigFix.gz phyloP scores for fish subset fish.phyloP8way.bw phyloP scores for fish subset in bigWig format The multiple alignments and methods description are at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/multiz8way/ For more information about this data, see the track description for the Conservation track: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=danRer7&g=cons8way Assemblies used in these alignments: - Human Homo sapiens Feb. 2009 hg19/GRCh37 - Mouse Mus musculus July 2007 mm9 - X. tropicalis Xenopus tropicalis Aug. 2005 xenTro2 - Tetraodon Tetraodon nigroviridis Mar. 2007 tetNig2 - Fugu Takifugu rubripes Oct. 2004 fr2 - Stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus Feb. 2006 gasAcu1 - Medaka Oryzias latipes Oct. 2005 oryLat2 - Zebrafish Danio rerio Jul. 2010 danRer7 --------------------------------------------------------------- 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: rsync -avz --progress \ rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/phyloP8way/ ./ OR ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu user name: anonymous password: go to the directory goldenPath/danRer7/phyloP8way To download multiple files from the UNIX command line, use the "mget" command. mget ... - 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- All the files in this directory are freely available for public use.
