This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation 
database for the Build 30 assembly of the mouse genome (mm3,
Feb. 2003) from the Mouse Genome Sequencing Consortium. The 
directory is updated nightly. 

Files included in this directory:
  - *.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=mm3
    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 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/mm3/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 tables are freely usable for any purpose except for the 
following:

   Swiss-Prot data in knownGene.txt - The Swiss-Prot entries in the
