This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments
of 11 vertebrate genomes to the chimp genome, plus an alternate set
of scores for a subset of five primate species in the alignments.

Files in this directory are:
    vertebrate.mod      phastCons tree model with branch lengths
                        for all 12 species
		panTro3 hg19 ponAbe2 rheMac2 calJac3 equCab2 canfam2 mm9 rn4
		monDom5 galGal3 danRer7
		  (chimp, human, orangutan, rhesus, marmoset, horse, dog,
			mouse, rat, opossum chicken, zebrafish)
    primate.mod            phastCons tree model for the primate subset:
		panTro3 hg19 ponAbe2 rheMac2 calJac3
		(chimp, human, orangutan, rhesus, marmoset)

    vertebrate.phastCons12way.wigFix.gz phastCons scores for 12 species
    primate.phastCons12way.wigFix.gz  phastCons scores for primate subset
    vertebrate.phastCons12way.bw phastCons scores for 12 species in bigWig format
    primate.phastCons12way.bw  phastCons scores for primate subset in bigWig format

To download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend 
that you use rsync or ftp rather than downloading the files via our website.
There is approximately 8.5 Gb of compressed data in this directory.

Via rsync:
rsync -av --progress \
	rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/panTro3/phastCons12way/ ./

Via FTP:
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/panTro3/phastCons12way

To download multiple files from the UNIX command line, use the "mget" command. 
    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 
Use the "prompt" command to toggle the interactive mode if you do not want 
to be prompted for each file that you download.
