This directory contains the Oct. 2005 assembly of the medaka genome (oryLat1, MEDAKA1) in one gzip-compressed FASTA file per chromosome. ERROR NOTE: We have determined that UCSC's assembly of the chrUn sequence for oryLat1 is incorrect: the gap relationships between contigs within their ultracontigs are broken. We are in the process of correcting this error, and plan to post a corrected data set in late July. We apologize for the inconvenience. This assembly was produced by Institute of Genetics (NIG) and the Morishita Laboratory, University of Tokyo. For more information on the medaka genome, see the project websites: NIG - http://dolphin.lab.nig.ac.jp/medaka/ Morishita Laboratory - http://medaka.utgenome.org/" Files included in this directory: - chr*.fa.gz: compressed FASTA sequence of each chromosome. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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/oryLat1/chromosomes. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) ______________________________________________________________________ Please note the Medaka genome data release policy: http://medaka.utgenome.org/#policy Quote: We (the medaka genome sequencing project) herein make the draft assembly of the medaka (Oryzias latipes) Hd-rR genome publicly available by providing genome browsing function before scientific publication. We reserve the exclusive right to publish, in a timely manner, the assembly and sequence of the medaka genome along with an initial genome-scale analysis. Reserved analyses include the identification of complete sets of genomic features such as (predicted) genes, gene families, paralogues,regulatory elements, repeat structures, GC content, etc., and the identification of regions of evolutionary conservation across the entire genome. All users may search and use the draft assembly freely under the restrictions of the previous paragraph. Since the current version is still a preliminary one and may contain mistakes, users should use the data at their own rish and are not allowed to redistribute or repackage the data. When users publish the analysis of individual genes and genomic regions using the data of this site, they should include the acknowledgement "The data has been provided freely by the National Institute of Genetics and the University of Tokyo for use in this publication/correspondence only." Finally, we are continuing to improve the assembly; therefore, any feedback information on the assembly from the users should be highly welcomed. Contact information: medaka@nematode.lab.nig.ac.jp
