This directory contains the Feb. 2004 assembly of the chicken
genome (galGal2, Feb. 2004) from the Genome Sequencing Center
at Washington University in St. Louis.
Files included in this directory:
galGal2.2bit - contains the complete chicken/galGal2 genome sequence
in the 2bit file format. While we are providing the .2bit for
this assembly, we will continue to use the .nib files in
the Genome Browser. 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/

chromAgp.zip - Description of how the assembly was generated from
fragments, unpacking to one file per chromosome.
chromFa.zip - The assembly sequence in one file per chromosome.
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. RepeatMasker January 2004 version with
RepBase libraries: RepBase Update 8.4, RM database version
20040225
chromFaMasked.zip - The assembly sequence in one file per
chromosome. Repeats are masked by capital Ns; non-repeating
sequence is shown in upper case.
chromOut.zip - RepeatMasker .out file for chromosomes. These were
created by RepeatMasker at the -s sensitive setting.
chromTrf.zip - Tandem Repeats Finder locations, filtered to keep repeats
with period less than or equal to 12, and translated into one
.bed file per chromosomes.
est.fa.gz - Chicken 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 - Chicken 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.
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.
galGal2.chrom.sizes - Two-column tab-separated text file containing assembly
sequence names and sizes.

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, then
go to the directory goldenPath/galGal2/bigZips. To download multiple
files, use the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all the files in the directory)
The chicken sequence is made freely available before scientific
publication 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 if the providers of these data are
properly acknowledged. See http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html
for credit information.
3. The centers producing the data reserve the right to publish the initial
large-scale analyses of the data set, 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 chromosome
(that is, 30 Mb or more).
4. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
