This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple
alignments of 5 other vertebrate genomes to the lancelet genome:

  - lancelet        Branchiostoma floridae  Mar 2006,  braFlo1  reference
  - human           Homo sapiens            Mar 2006,  hg18     recip best net
  - mouse           Mus musculus            July 2007, mm9      recip best net
  - chicken         Gallus gallus           May 2006,  galGal3  recip best net
  - lamprey         Petromyzon marinus      June 2007, petMar1  recip best net

Files in this directory are:
    5way.mod      phastCons tree model with branch lengths for the 5 species
    chr*.data.gz - phastCons scores for the 5 species on chrM and chrUn

---------------------------------------------------------------
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/braFlo1/phastCons5way

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

Checksum values for all files in this directory can be found in md5sum.txt.
