This directory contains alignments of the human assembly (hg16, Jul. 2003)
to itself.
The chr*.chain.gz files are the chained blastz alignments. The chain format is
described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/chain.html.
The md5sum.txt file indicates the md5 check sum of these chr*.chain.gz
files to verify a correct copy.
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/). The blastz scoring matrix used was:
A C G T
A 91 -114 -31 -123
C -114 100 -125 -31
G -31 -125 100 -114
T -123 -31 -114 91
with a gap open penalty of 400 and a gap extension penalty of 30. The
minimum score for an alignment is 2000.
Each chromosome was divided into 10,000,000 base chunks with 10000 bases
of overlap. The .lav format blastz output, which does not include
the sequence, was converted to .axt with lavToAxt.

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/hg16/vsSelf/. To download multiple
files, use the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all the files in the directory)
All the tables in this directory are freely available for public use.
