This directory contains alignments of the Fugu assembly 
(fr1, Aug. 2002) to the Tetraodon assembly (tetNig1, Feb. 2004)
in "axt" format. For a description, 
see http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/axt.html.

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 to be kept was 8000 for the first pass  
and 2200 for the second pass, which restricted the search space to the 
regions between two alignments found in the first pass.

Each chromosome was divided into 10,010,000 base chunks for the blastz
alignments. The .lav format blastz output, which does not include
the sequence, was converted to .axt with lavToAxt. There are no 
lineage-specific repeats available for these two fish; therefore, none 
were used in the blastz alignments.

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/tetNig1/vsFr1/. To download multiple files, 
use the "mget" command:

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

All the files in this directory are freely usable for any purpose. 

The Tetraodon sequence has been freely provided by Genoscope before 
publication for use in the UCSC Genome Browser with the following 
understanding: 

1. The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged 
   in databases. 
2. Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing particular 
   genes and regions, provided that the Genoscope is properly acknowledged.
3. Genoscope reserves the right to publish the initial large-scale analyses 
   of the dataset, including large-scale identification of regions of 
   evolutionary conservation and large-scale genomic assembly. Large-scale 
   refers to regions with size on the order of a Tetraodon chromosome (that 
   is, 5 Mb or more).
4. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
