This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments
of 19 genome sequences to the human genome.

Files in this directory:

  hg38.phastCons20way.mod - phastCons tree model for the 20 species
  hg38.phastCons20way.wigFix.gz - scores in fixed step wiggle format
  hg38.phastCons20way.bw - scores in bigWig format files:
  md5sum.txt - MD5 checksums to verify download files

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 9.9 Gb of compressed data in this directory.

Via rsync:
rsync -avz --progress \
	rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg38/phastCons20way/ ./

Via FTP:
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous

    go to the directory goldenPath/hg38/phastCons20way

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
