This directory contains the Monodelphis domestica genome
(UCSC monDom5, October 2006) from The Broad Institute.
Files included in this directory:
- chr*.fa.gz: compressed FASTA sequence of each chromosome.
Each chromosome is in a separate file in a gzip Fasta format.
Repeats -- which are shown in lower case -- are annotated by
RepeatMasker run at the sensitive setting and Tandem Repeats Finder
(repeats of period 12 or less). Repeat Masker database version: 20060120
md5sum.txt - MD5 checksum of these files to verify correct transmission
The main assembly is contained in the chrN.fa.gz files, where N is the name
of the chromosome. The chrUn.fa.gz file contains clones that are not
yet finished or cannot be placed with certainty at a specific place on
any chromosome.

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, then
go to the directory goldenPath/monDom5/chromosomes. To download multiple
files, use the "mget" command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all the files in the directory)
The rsync command to download the entire directory:
rsync -avzP rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom5/chromosomes/ .
For a single file, e.g. chrX.fa.gz
rsync -avzP \
rsync://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom5/chromosomes/chrX.fa.gz .
Or with wget, all files:
wget --timestamping \
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom5/chromosomes/*'
With wget, a single file:
wget --timestamping \
'ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/monDom5/chromosomes/chrX.fa.gz' \
-O chrX.fa.gz
To unpack the fa.gz files:
gunzip <file>.fa.gz
All the files in this directory are freely available for public use.
