This directory contains the Drosophila persimilis 28 October 2005 assembly from the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard. The annotations are from UCSC and collaborators worldwide. Files are updated nightly. The .txt.gz files contain the database tables in a tab-delimited format compressed with gzip. The .sql files contain the MySQL commands used to create the tables. See http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/gbdDescriptions.html 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/droPer1/database. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) All the tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
