This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple alignments
of 6 vertebrate genomes to the lamprey genome.

Files in this directory:

  petMar2.phastCons7way.mod - phastCons tree model for the 7 species
  petMar2.phastCons7way.wigFix.gz - scores in fixed step wiggle format
  petMar2.phastCons7way.bw - scores in bigWig format files:

that you use rsync or ftp rather than downloading the files via our website.
There is approximately 8.5 Gb of compressed data in this directory.

Via rsync:
rsync -avz --progress \
	rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/petMar2/phastCons7way/ ./

Via FTP:
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/petMar2/phastCons7way

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.
