This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values)
from the PHAST package (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/) for multiple
alignments of 9 vertebrate genomes to the X. tropicalis genome.

Files in this directory are:
    vertebrate.mod      phyloP tree model with branch lengths
                        for all 9 species
          xenTro3 anoCar2 galGal3 melGal1 monDom5 rn4 mm9 hg19 danRer7
    (X. tropicalis, lizard, chicken, turkey, opossum, rat, mouse, human,
	zebrafish)

    phyloP9way.wigFix.gz phyloP scores for all 9 species, wiggle fixed step
    phyloP9way.bw phyloP scores for all 9 species in bigWig format

The multiple alignments and methods description are at:

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 -av --progress \
        rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/xenTro3/phyloP9way/ ./

      OR

    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/xenTro3/phyloP9way

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.
