This directory contains the annotation database tables for the Feb. 2004 freeze of the Tetraodon nigroviridis version 7 (V7) genome assembly (tetNig1) provided by Genoscope (http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/). This assembly is the result of a collaboration between Genoscope and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Files included in this directory (updated nightly): - *.sql files: the MySQL commands used to create the tables. 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=tetNig1 and click the "describe table schema" button. There is also a "view table schema" link on the configuration page for each track. - *.txt.gz files: the database tables in a tab-delimited format compressed with gzip. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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/tetNig1/database/. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) All the annotations in this directory are freely usable for any purpose. The Tetraodon sequence has been freely provided by Genoscope before publication for use in the UCSC Genome Browser with the following understanding: 1. The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged in databases. 2. Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing particular genes and regions, provided that the Genoscope is properly acknowledged. 3. Genoscope reserves the right to publish the initial large-scale analyses of the dataset, including large-scale identification of regions of evolutionary conservation and large-scale genomic assembly. Large-scale refers to regions with size on the order of a Tetraodon chromosome (that is, 5 Mb or more). 4. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
