This file is from: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/rn6/phastCons20way/README.txt This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments of 19 genomes to the Rat genome. Files in this directory are: rn6.phastCons20way.mod phastCons tree model with branch lengths for the 20 species rn6.phastCons20way.wigFix.gz - phastCons scores for the 20 species in fixed step wiggle format rn6.phastCons20way.bw - phastCons scores for all 20 species in bigWig format md5sum.txt - md5 sums of the files here to verify accurate download The multiple alignments and methods description are at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/rn6/multiz20way/ For a description of the wigFix data file format, note the section describing the 'fixedStep' wiggle format: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html For a description of the phastCons data file format, see: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/phastCons.html see also the section describing the 'fixedStep' wiggle format: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html Assemblies used in these alignments: rat - Rattus norvegicus - Jul. 2014 (RGSC 6.0/rn6) reference Rat Rattus norvegicus Jul. 2014 (RGSC 6.0/rn6) Mouse Mus musculus Dec. 2011 (GRCm38/mm10) Prairie vole Microtus ochrogaster Oct. 2012 (MicOch1.0/micOch1) Guinea pig Cavia porcellus Feb. 2008 (Broad/cavPor3) Rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus Apr. 2009 (Broad/oryCun2) Human Homo sapiens Dec. 2013 (GRCh38/hg38) Chimp Pan troglodytes May 2016 (Pan_tro 3.0/panTro5) Rhesus Macaca mulatta Nov. 2015 (BCM Mmul_8.0.1/rheMac8) Tarsier Tarsius syrichta Sep. 2013 (Tarsius_syrichta-2.0.1/tarSyr2) Dog Canis lupus familiaris Sep. 2011 (Broad CanFam3.1/canFam3) Panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca Dec. 2009 (BGI-Shenzhen 1.0/ailMel1) Cat Felis catus Nov. 2014 (ICGSC Felis_catus_8.0/felCat8) Cow Bos taurus Jun. 2014 (Bos_taurus_UMD_3.1.1/bosTau8) Opossum Monodelphis domestica Oct. 2006 (Broad/monDom5) Platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus Feb. 2007 (ASM227v2/ornAna2) Chicken Gallus gallus Dec. 2015 (Gallus_gallus-5.0/galGal5) Turkey Meleagris gallopavo Nov. 2014 (Turkey_5.0/melGal5) X. tropicalis Xenopus tropicalis Sep. 2012 (JGI 7.0/xenTro7) Zebrafish Danio rerio Sep. 2014 (GRCz10/danRer10) Elephant shark Callorhinchus milii Dec. 2013 (Callorhinchus_milii-6.1.3/calMil1) --------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
