This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation 
database for the July 2003 GenBank freeze of the human genome
(hg16) assembled by NCBI. 

Files included in this directory (updated nightly):

  - *.sql files: the MySQL commands used 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=hg16
    and click the "describe table schema" button.  There is also a "view
    table schema" link on the configuration page for each track.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
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/hg16/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 annotations in this directory are freely usable for any purpose 
except for the following:
