This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values)
from the PHAST package (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/) for multiple
alignments of 6 vertebrate genomes to the medium ground finch genome,
plus two alternate sets of scores for subsets of species in the alignments.

Files in this directory are:

    geoFor1.phyloP.7way.mod - phyloP tree model with branch lengths for
                            all 7 species
    geoFor1.phyloP.birds.mod - tree model for the birds subset:
          geoFor1 taeGut1 melUnd1 galGal4 melGal1
          (medium ground finch, zebra finch, budgerigar, chicken, turkey)
    geoFor1.phyloP.vertebrate.mod - tree model for the vertebrate subset:
          geoFor1 hg19 mm10
          (medium ground finch, human, mouse)

Note, geoFor1 is included in each subset since it is the reference species.

PhyloP scores in bigWig format files:
    geoFor1.7way.phyloP7way.bw
    geoFor1.7way.phyloP7wayBirds.bw
    geoFor1.7way.phyloP7wayVertebrate.bw

PhyloP scores in fixed step wiggle format:
    geoFor1.7way.phyloP7way/phyloP7way.wigFix.gz - scores for all 7 species
    birds/phyloP7way.birds.wigFix.gz - scores for the birds subset
    vertebrate/phyloP7way.vertebrate.wigFix.gz - scores for the vertebrate subset

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:

   rsync -avz --progress \
        rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/phyloP7way/ ./

      OR

    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/geoFor1/phyloP7way

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.
