This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for
the Apr. 2006 assembly of the D. melanogaster genome (dm3, BDGP Release 5).
The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.

This assembly was produced by the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project.
For more information on the D. melanogaster genome, see the release notes:

Files included in this directory (updated nightly):

  - *.sql files:  the MySQL commands used to create the tables

  - *.txt.gz files: the database tables in a tab-delimited format
    compressed with gzip.

See http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/gbdDescriptions.html for
descriptions of the tables.

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 hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/dm3/database

To download multiple files from the UNIX command line, use the "mget" command. 
    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - 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 and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
