This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the Sep. 2009 (TWGS Meug_1.1/macEug2) assembly of the wallaby genome (macEug2, TWGS (NCBI Project ID: 12586, Accession: GCA_000004035.1)). The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. This assembly was produced by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). For more information on the wallaby genome, see the project website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/12587 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. 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=macEug2 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 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/macEug2/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) Alternate methods to ftp access. Using an rsync command to download the entire directory: rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/macEug2/database/ . For a single file, e.g. gc5Base.txt.gz rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/macEug2/database/gc5Base.txt.gz . Or with wget, all files: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/macEug2/database/*' With wget, a single file: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/macEug2/database/gc5Base.txt.gz' -O gc5Base.txt.gz To uncompress the *.txt.gz files: gunzip .txt.gz The tables can be loaded directly from the .txt.gz compressed file. It is not necessary to uncompress them to load into a database, as shown in the example below. To load one of the tables directly into your local mirror database, for example the table chromInfo: ## create table from the sql definition $ hgsql macEug2 < chromInfo.sql ## load data from the txt.gz file $ zcat chromInfo.txt.gz | hgsql macEug2 --local-infile=1 -e 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/dev/stdin" INTO TABLE chromInfo;' All the files and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
