This directory contains a dump of the UCSC genome annotation database for
the Sep. 2006 assembly of the S. purpuratus genome (strPur2, Baylor release 3 Spur 2.1).
The annotations were generated by UCSC and collaborators worldwide.

This assembly was produced by the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center.
For more information on the S. purpuratus genome, see the project website:
http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/projects/seaurchin/

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=strPur2
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/strPur2/database/. To download multiple 
files, use the "mget" command:

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

For conditions of use regarding the S. purpuratus genome sequence data, see

All the files and tables in this directory are freely usable for any purpose.
