This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for
the March 2006 assembly of the cat genome (felCat3, Broad Release 3).
The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.

This assembly was produced by the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard.
For more information on the cat genome, see the project website:
http://www.broad.mit.edu/mammals/

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------
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/felCat3/database/. To download multiple 
files, use the "mget" command:

    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 


All the files and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
