This directory contains the Jul. 2010 (Zv9/danRer7) assembly of the zebrafish genome (danRer7, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Zv9 (GCA_000002035.2)), as well as repeat annotations and GenBank sequences. This assembly was produced by a collaboration between the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany, the Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology (Hubrecht Laboratory), Utrecht, The Netherlands and Yi Zhou and Leonard Zon from the Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.. For more information on the zebrafish genome, see the project website: http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/D_rerio/ Files included in this directory: danRer7.2bit - contains the complete zebrafish/danRer7 genome sequence in the 2bit file format. Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. The utility program, twoBitToFa (available from the kent src tree), can be used to extract .fa file(s) from this file. A pre-compiled version of the command line tool can be found at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/ See also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/git.html http://genome.ucsc.edu/admin/jk-install.html danRer7.agp.gz - Description of how the assembly was generated from fragments. danRer7.fa.gz - "Soft-masked" assembly sequence in one file. Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. danRer7.fa.masked.gz - "Hard-masked" assembly sequence in one file. Repeats are masked by capital Ns; non-repeating sequence is shown in upper case. danRer7.fa.out.gz - RepeatMasker .out file. RepeatMasker was run with the -s (sensitive) setting. Repeat Masker version: June 30 2010 (open-3-2-9) with library version 20090604 danRer7.trf.bed.gz - Tandem Repeats Finder locations, filtered to keep repeats with period less than or equal to 12, and translated into UCSC's BED format. est.fa.gz - Zebrafish ESTs in GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. md5sum.txt - checksums of files in this directory mrna.fa.gz - Zebrafish mRNA from GenBank. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. refMrna.fa.gz - RefSeq mRNA from the same species as the genome. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. upstream1000.fa.gz - Sequences 1000 bases upstream of annotated transcription starts of RefSeq genes with annotated 5' UTRs. This file is updated weekly so it might be slightly out of sync with the RefSeq data which is updated daily for most assemblies. upstream2000.fa.gz - Same as upstream1000, but 2000 bases. upstream5000.fa.gz - Same as upstream1000, but 5000 bases. xenoMrna.fa.gz - GenBank mRNAs from species other than that of the genome. This sequence data is updated once a week via automatic GenBank updates. danRer7.chrom.sizes - Two-column tab-separated text file containing assembly sequence names and sizes. danRer7.gc5Base.wigVarStep.gz - ascii data wiggle variable step values used - to construct the GC Percent track danRer7.gc5Base.wig.gz - wiggle database table for the GC Percent track - this is an older standard alternative to the current - bigWig format of the track, sometimes usefull for analysis danRer7.gc5Base.wib - binary data to correspond with the gc5Base.wig file see also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html and http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Using_hgWiggle_without_a_database for a discussion of how to use the wig.gz and .wib files for interaction with the GC percent data values danRer7.chromAlias.txt - sequence name alias file, one line for each sequence name. First column is sequence name followed by tab separated alias names. ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend that you use ftp rather than downloading the files via our website. To do so, ftp to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu [username: anonymous, password: your email address], then cd to the directory goldenPath/danRer7/bigZips. To download multiple files, use the "mget" command: mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) Alternate methods to ftp access. Using an rsync command to download the entire directory: rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/bigZips/ . For a single file, e.g. chromFa.tar.gz rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz . Or with wget, all files: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/bigZips/*' With wget, a single file: wget --timestamping 'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/danRer7/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz' -O chromFa.tar.gz To unpack the *.tar.gz files: tar xvzf .tar.gz To uncompress the fa.gz files: gunzip .fa.gz
