This directory contains the Apr. 2012 (GeoFor_1.0/geoFor1) assembly of the medium ground finch genome
(geoFor1, Beijing Genomics Institute), as well as repeat annotations and GenBank sequences.
For more information about this assembly, please note the NCBI resources:

Files included in this directory:
geoFor1.2bit - contains the complete medium ground finch/geoFor1 genome sequence
in the 2bit file format. Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats
Finder (with period of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating
sequence is shown in upper case. The utility program, twoBitToFa (available
from the kent src tree), can be used to extract .fa file(s) from
this file. A pre-compiled version of the command line tool can be
found at:
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/

geoFor1.agp.gz - Description of how the assembly was generated from
fragments.
geoFor1.fa.gz - "Soft-masked" assembly sequence in one file.
Repeats from RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeats Finder (with period
of 12 or less) are shown in lower case; non-repeating sequence is
shown in upper case.
geoFor1.fa.masked.gz - "Hard-masked" assembly sequence in one file.
Repeats are masked by capital Ns; non-repeating sequence is shown in
upper case.
geoFor1.fa.out.gz - RepeatMasker .out file. RepeatMasker was run with the
-s (sensitive) setting.
April 26 2011 (open-3-3-0) version of RepeatMasker
RepBase library: RELEASE 20110920
geoFor1.trf.bed.gz - Tandem Repeats Finder locations, filtered to keep repeats
with period less than or equal to 12, and translated into UCSC's BED
format.
md5sum.txt - checksums of files in this directory
mrna.fa.gz - Medium ground finch mRNA from GenBank. This sequence data is updated
once a week via automatic GenBank updates.
geoFor1.chrom.sizes - Two-column tab-separated text file containing assembly
sequence names and sizes.
geoFor1.gc5Base.wigVarStep.gz - ascii data wiggle variable step values used
- to construct the GC Percent track
geoFor1.gc5Base.wig.gz - wiggle database table for the GC Percent track
- this is an older standard alternative to the current
- bigWig format of the track, sometimes usefull for analysis
geoFor1.gc5Base.wib - binary data to correspond with the gc5Base.wig file
see also: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html
and http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Using_hgWiggle_without_a_database
for a discussion of how to use the wig.gz and .wib files for
interaction with the GC percent data values
geoFor1.chromAlias.txt - sequence name alias file, one line
for each sequence name. First column is sequence name followed by
tab separated alias names.
------------------------------------------------------------------
If you plan 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 to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu
[username: anonymous, password: your email address], then cd to the
directory goldenPath/geoFor1/bigZips. To download multiple files, use
the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all the files in the directory)
Alternate methods to ftp access.
Using an rsync command to download the entire directory:
rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/bigZips/ .
For a single file, e.g. chromFa.tar.gz
rsync -avzP \
rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz .
Or with wget, all files:
wget --timestamping \
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/bigZips/*'
With wget, a single file:
wget --timestamping \
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/geoFor1/bigZips/chromFa.tar.gz'
-O chromFa.tar.gz
To unpack the *.tar.gz files:
tar xvzf <file>.tar.gz
To uncompress the fa.gz files:
gunzip <file>.fa.gz
