This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values)
from the PHAST package (http://compgen.cshl.edu/phast/) for multiple
alignments of 16 primate genomes to the human genome.

Files in this directory:

    hg38.phyloP17way.mod - phyloP tree model with branch lengths for
                            all 17 species
    hg38.phyloP17way.bw - scores in bigWig format
    hg38.phyloP17way.wigFix.gz - scores in fixed step wiggle format
    md5sum.txt - MD5 checksums to verify download files

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/hg38/phyloP17way/ ./

      OR

    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/hg38/phyloP17way

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.
