This directory contains the Mar. 2007 assembly of the platypus genome (ornAna1, WUSTL version 5.0.1), as well as repeat annotations and GenBank sequences. This assembly was produced by the Genome Sequencing Center at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. For more information on the platypus genome, see the project website: http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Ornithorhynchus%20anatinus 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=ornAna1 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/ornAna1/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) The Platypus sequence is made freely available to the community by the Genome Sequencing Center, Washington University School of Medicine, with the following understanding: 1. The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged in databases. 2. Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing these data if the providers of these data are properly acknowledged. See http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html for credit information. 3. The centers producing the data reserve the right to publish the initial large-scale analyses of the data set, including large-scale identification of regions of evolutionary conservation and large-scale genomic assembly. Large-scale refers to regions with size on the order of a chromosome (that is, 30 Mb or more). 4. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice. All the files and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
