This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the March 10, 2003 Genbank freeze assembled by NCBI. This is updated weekly on Sundays. The .txt.gz files are the database tables in a tab-delimited format compressed with gzip. The .sql files are the MySQL commands 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=hg14 and click the "describe table schema" button. There is also a "view table schema" link on the configuration page for each track. 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/10mar2003/database. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) All of the tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose except for the following: softberryGene.txt and softberryPep.txt - Free for academic and nonprofit use. Commercial users please contact Softberry Inc at http://www.softberry.com. genieAlt.txt and genieAltPep.txt - Free for academic and nonprofit use.
