Data repository

All eGenome data is available for viewing and downloading at the data repository. In the repository, a number of files, each containing a specific subset of eGenome data, can be found. The files are organized by data type:

  • Basic element information (these files are named "element");
  • Alternative element names (element_to_alias);
  • Bundle information (element_to_bundle);
  • Clone information (element_to_clone);
  • Cytogenetic data (element_to_cyto);
  • Genetic linkage information (element_to_genetic); and
  • Sequence data (element_to_sequence).

These files have been generated both on a whole genome and a chromosome-specific basis; this data can be found in subdirectories for the entire genome (allgenome) and for each chromosome (chrN), respectively. Each individual file has been compressed into .tar, .zip, and .hqx files for Unix, PC, and Mac platforms. More detail regarding the repository data contents and the file structure can be found here.
