This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the Feb. 2007 (ASM227v2/ornAna2) assembly of the platypus genome (ornAna2, WUGSC ASM227v2) . The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. For more information about this assembly, please note the NCBI resources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/110 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/assembly/237598 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/19039 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=ornAna2 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/ornAna2/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/ornAna2/database/ . For a single file, e.g. gc5BaseBw.txt.gz rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/ornAna2/database/gc5BaseBw.txt.gz . Or with wget, all files: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/ornAna2/database/*' With wget, a single file: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/ornAna2/database/gc5BaseBw.txt.gz' -O gc5BaseBw.txt.gz Please note that some files contents, such as this example gc5BaseBw.txt.gz, will point to the data being hosted in another /gbdb/ location, which refers to ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/ 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 ornAna2 < chromInfo.sql ## load data from the txt.gz file $ zcat chromInfo.txt.gz | hgsql ornAna2 --local-infile=1 -e 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/dev/stdin" INTO TABLE chromInfo;' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GenBank Data Usage The GenBank database is designed to provide and encourage access within the scientific community to the most up to date and comprehensive DNA sequence information.
