This directory contains a dump of the annotation database for the Release 4 assembly of the Drosophila melanogaster genome (dm2, Apr. 2004). The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. 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=dm2 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 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/dm2/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) All the files in this directory are freely available for public use.
