This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for the Oct. 2005 assembly of the medaka genome (oryLat2, MEDAKA1). The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide. 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 (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=oryLat2 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/oryLat2/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/oryLat2/database/ . For a single file, e.g. gc5Base.txt.gz rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/oryLat2/database/gc5Base.txt.gz . Or with wget, all files: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/oryLat2/database/*' With wget, a single file: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/oryLat2/database/gc5Base.txt.gz' -O gc5Base.txt.gz 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 oryLat2 < chromInfo.sql ## load data from the txt.gz file $ zcat chromInfo.txt.gz | hgsql oryLat2 --local-infile=1 -e 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE "/dev/stdin" INTO TABLE chromInfo;' ______________________________________________________________________ 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
