This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple
alignments of the following assemblies to the rat genome
(Nov. 2004, rn4):

  - mouse (Feb 2006, mm8)
  - human (Mar 2006, hg18) 
  - dog (May 2005, canFam2) 
  - cow (Mar 2005, bosTau2) 
  - opossum (Jan 2006, monDom4) 
  - chicken (Feb 2004, galGal2) 
  - frog (Oct 2004, xenTro1) 
  - zebrafish (May 2005, danRer3) 

For a description of the phastCons file format, see

-----------------------------------------------------------------
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/rn4/phastCons9way. To download multiple files, 
use the "mget" command:

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

All files in this directory are freely available for public use.
For data use restrictions regarding the other genome assemblies used 
in this annotation, see http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html.
