This directory contains compressed FASTA alignments for the CDS regions
of the rat genome (rn4, Nov. 2004) aligned to the following assemblies:

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

  - zebrafish (May 2005, danRer3) 


Files included in this directory:
  - refGene.exon*.fa.gz: for each exon in the Baylor 3.4/rn4 RefSeq Gene  track,
    this file contains either amino acids (AA) or nucleotides (Nuc) for
    Baylor 3.4/rn4 and the aligning genomes.
  - rgdGene2Canonical.exon*.fa.gz: for each exon in the Baylor 3.4/rn4 
    canonical set of RGD Genes 2, this file contains either amino acids (AA) 
    or nucleotides (Nuc) for Baylor 3.4/rn4  and the aligning genomes.
  - rgdGene2.exon*.fa.gz: for each exon in the Baylor 3.4/rn4 RGD Genes 2 track,
    this file contains either amino acids (AA) or nucleotides (Nuc) for
    Baylor 3.4/rn4 and the aligning genomes.

---------------------------------------------------------------
To download a large file or multiple files from this directory, we recommend 
that you use ftp rather than downloading the files via our website. To do so: 
    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/hg19/multiz46way/alignments

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.

All the files in this directory are freely usable for any 
purpose. For data use restrictions regarding the individual 
genome assemblies, see http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/credits.html.
