This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values)
from the PHAST package (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/) for multiple
alignments of 5 mammal genomes to the cat genome. 
 
  Assemblies used in these alignments:


  - Cat             Felis catus             Dec 2008 felCat4  reference
  - Dog             Canis lupus familiaris  May 2005 canFam2  chain net
  - Panda           Ailuropoda melanoleuca  Dec 2009 ailMel1  recip best
  - Human           Homo sapiens            Feb 2009 hg19     chain net
  - Mouse           Mus musculus            Jul 2007 mm9      chain net
  - Opossum         Monodelphis domestica   Oct 2006 monDom5  chain net


Files in this directory are:
    all.mod      phyloP tree model with branch lengths
                 for all 6 species
                 (felCat4, canFam2, ailMel1, hg19, mm9 monDom5)
 
    phyloP6way.wigFix.gz  phyloP scores for all 6 species
   
    phyloP6way.bw   phyloP scores for all 6 species in bigWig format
 
    md5sum.txt - md5 check sums of these files to verify correct download files

To download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend 
that you use rsync or ftp rather than downloading the files via our website:

   rsync -avz --progress \
        rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/felCat4/phyloP6way/ ./

      OR

    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/felCat4/phyloP6way

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.
