This directory contains compressed multiple alignments of the 
following assemblies to the Medaka genome (oryLat1, Oct 2005):

  - stickleback (Feb 2006, gasAcu1) 
  - tetraodon (Feb 2004, tetNig1) 
  - fugu (Oct 2004, fr2) 
  - zebrafish (Mar 2006, danRer4) 

Files included in this directory:
    chr*.maf.gz - alignments to the medaka genome
  - ensGene.upstream*.maf.gz: alignments to regions (1000, 2000 and 5000) bases 
    upstream of medaka Ensembl genes. 

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.

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/fr2/multiz5way. To download 
multiple files, use the "mget" command:

    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 

All the files in this directory are freely usable for any 
purpose. For data use restrictions regarding the individual 
genome assemblies, see http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html.
