This directory contains the Dec. 2011 (Baylor/dasNov3) assembly of the armadillo genome (dasNov3, Baylor College of Medicine Dasnov3.0 (GCA_000208655.2)), as well as repeat annotations and GenBank sequences. For more information about this assembly, please note the NCBI resources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/235 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/assembly/326198 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/12594 Files included in this directory: dasNov3.2bit - contains the complete armadillo/dasNov3 genome sequence in the 2bit file format. Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. The utility program, twoBitToFa (available from the kent src tree), can be used to extract .fa file(s) from this file. A pre-compiled version of the command line tool can be found at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ See also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/git.html http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/jk-install.html dasNov3.agp.gz - Description of how the assembly was generated from fragments. dasNov3.fa.gz - "Soft-masked" assembly sequence in one file. Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. dasNov3.fa.masked.gz - "Hard-masked" assembly sequence in one file. Repeats are masked by capital Ns; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. dasNov3.fa.out.gz - RepeatMasker .out file. RepeatMasker was run with the -s (sensitive) setting. April 26 2011 (open-3-3-0) version of RepeatMasker RepBase library: RELEASE 20110920 dasNov3.trf.bed.gz - Tandem Repeats Finder locations, filtered to keep repeats with period less than or equal to 12, and translated into UCSC's BED format. md5sum.txt - checksums of files in this directory mrna.fa.gz - Armadillo mRNA from GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. xenoMrna.fa.gz - GenBank mRNAs from species other than that of the genome. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. dasNov3.chrom.sizes - Two-column tab-separated text file containing assembly sequence names and sizes. dasNov3.gc5Base.wigVarStep.gz - ascii data wiggle variable step values used - to construct the GC Percent track dasNov3.gc5Base.wig.gz - wiggle database table for the GC Percent track - this is an older standard alternative to the current - bigWig format of the track, sometimes usefull for analysis dasNov3.gc5Base.wib - binary data to correspond with the gc5Base.wig file see also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html and http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Using_hgWiggle_without_a_database for a discussion of how to use the wig.gz and .wib files for interaction with the GC percent data values dasNov3.chromAlias.txt - sequence name alias file, one line for each sequence name. First column is sequence name followed by tab separated alias names. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 [username: anonymous, password: your email address], then cd to the directory goldenPath/dasNov3/bigZips. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) Alternate methods to ftp access. Using an rsync command to download the entire directory: rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dasNov3/bigZips/ . For a single file, e.g. chromFa.tar.gz rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dasNov3/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz . Or with wget, all files: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dasNov3/bigZips/*' With wget, a single file: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dasNov3/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz' -O chromFa.tar.gz To unpack the *.tar.gz files: tar xvzf .tar.gz To uncompress the fa.gz files: gunzip .fa.gz For conditions of use regarding the Armadillo genome sequence data, see http://www.hgsc.bcm.edu/content/conditions-use ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GenBank Data Usage The GenBank database is designed to provide and encourage access within the scientific community to the most up to date and comprehensive DNA sequence information.
