This directory contains conservation scoring by phyloP (phylogenetic p-values)
from the PHAST package (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/) for multiple
alignments of 29 vertebrate genomes to the mouse genome, plus alternate sets
of scores for the euarchontoglire species and the placental mammal species in the
alignments.

Files in this directory are:
    vertebrate.mod      phyloP tree model with branch lengths
                        for all 30 species.
    euarchontoglires.mod  phyloP tree model for the euarchontoglires subset:
	mm9, rn4, cavPor2, oryCun1, hg18, panTro2, ponAbe2, rheMac2, calJac1,
	otoGar1, tupBel1
	(mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, human, chimp, orangutan, rhesus,
	marmoset, bushbaby, tree shrew)
    placentalMammals.mod   phyloP tree model for the placental mammal subset:
	mm9, rn4, cavPor2, oryCun1, hg18, panTro2, ponAbe2, rheMac2, calJac1,
	otoGar1, tupBel1, sorAra1, eriEur1, canFam2, felCat3, equCab1, bosTau3,
	dasNov1, loxAfr1, echTel1
	(mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, human, chimp, orangutan, rhesus,
	marmoset, bushbaby, tree shrew, shrew, hedgehog, dog, cat,
	horse, cow, armadillo, elephant, tenrec)

    vertebrate/*.wigFix.gz phyloP scores for all 30 species
    euarchontoglires/*.wigFix.gz  phyloP scores for euarchontoglire subset

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 -avz --progress \
        rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm9/phyloP30way/ ./

      OR

    ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu 
    user name: anonymous
    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/mm9/phyloP30way

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.
