This directory contains zipped multiple alignments of the following
assemblies to the D. melanogaster genome (dm1, Jan. 2003): 

- D. yakuba (droYak1, Apr. 2004) 
- D. pseudoobscura (dp2, Aug. 2003)
- A. gambiae (anoGam1, Feb. 2003) 

Each chr*.maf.gz file contains all the alignments to that particular 
D. melanogaster chromosome.  

The droYak1, dp2, and anoGam1 directories contain gzipped files containing 
the pairwise (blastz) alignments used in the multiple alignment.

For a description of the multiple alignment format (MAF), see

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/dm1/multizDroYak1Dp2AnoGam1/. To download 
multiple files, use the "mget" command:

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

All the tables in this directory are freely available for public use.
