This directory contains zipped multiple alignments of the following 
yeasts to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome (sacCer1):
- Saccharomyces paradoxus
- Saccharomyces mikatae
- Saccharomyces kudriavzevii
- Saccharomyces bayanus
- Saccharomyces castelli
- Saccharomyces kluyveri

The chr*.maf.gz files each contain all the alignments to that particular 
S. cerevisiae chromosome.  

For a description of the multiple alignment format (MAF), see

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/sacCer1/multizYeast/. To download multiple 
files, use the "mget" command:

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

All the tables in this directory are freely available for public use.
