This directory contain blastz alignments of the May 2003 C. elegans 
assembly vs. other organisms.  

Files included in this directory:

  - vsCb1 directory: contains C. elegans/C. briggsae alignments 
  - vsSelf directory: contains alignments of C. elegans to itself

The alignments are in "axt" format. For a description, see 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/axt.html.

The alignments were produced by the blastz alignment program, which 
is available from Webb Miller's lab at Penn State University 
(http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/). 

-----------------------------------------------------------------
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/ceMay2003/alignments/. To download multiple 
files, use the "mget" command:

    mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
    - or -
    mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) 

------------------------------------------------------------------
The C. elegans and C. briggsae sequence are made freely available to the 
community by the Genome Sequencing Center at the WUSTL School of Medicine. 
Please see the WUSTL data use policy at http://genome.wustl.edu/data.cgi
