This directory contains compressed multiple alignments of the 
following assemblies to the Chinese tree shrew genome (tupChi1, Jan. 2013):

Assemblies used in these alignments:

Malayan flying lemur Tupaia chinensis Jan. 2013
            (BGI TupChi1_1.0/tupChi1) reference

Chinese tree shrew Tupaia chinensis         Jan. 2013 (BGI/tupChi1) reference
Malayan flying lemur Galeopterus variegatus Jun. 2014 (WashU/galVar1)
Human              Homo sapiens             Dec. 2013 (GRCh38/hg38)
Mouse              Mus musculus             Dec. 2011 (GRCm38/mm10)

These alignments were prepared using the methods described in the
track description file:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=tupChi1&g=cons4way
based on the phylogenetic tree: tupChi1.4way.nh.

Files in this directory:
 - tupChi1.4way.nh - phylogenetic tree used during the multiz multiple alignment
 - tupChi1.4way.commonNames.nh - same as tupChi1.4way.nh with the UCSC database
	names replaced by the common name for the species
 - tupChi1.4way.scientificName.nh - same as tupChi1.4way.nh with the UCSC
	database names replaced by the scientific name for the species
 - tupChi1.4way.maf.gz - the multiple alignments on the
        Chinese tree shrew genome
 - md5sum.txt - md5 check sums of these files to verify correct download files

The tupChi1.4way.maf.gz file contain all the alignments for the chromosomes
in the Chinese tree shrew genome, including additional annotations to
indicate gap context and genomic breaks for the sequence in the underlying
genome assemblies.  Note, the compressed data size of the
maf file is 2.3 Gb, uncompressed is 8.7 Gb.

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 2.3 Gb of compressed data in this directory.

Via rsync:
rsync -av --progress \
	rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/tupChi1/multiz4way/ ./

Via FTP:
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/tupChi1/multiz4way

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.
