[Genome] Where to download these genome files

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Jin,

To get to the genome files for mm9, start from our homepage 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/) and click the "Downloads" link in the light 
blue bar on the left-hand side of the page, then click on "Mouse". 
Under the heading "Jul. 2007 (mm9)" you should see two links:

     * Full data set
(http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm9/bigZips/)

     * Data set by chromosome
(http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/mm9/chromosomes/)

The first link contains the mm9.2bit file, and the second link contains 
the chr*.fa files.

There are no .nib files for mm9, as the .nib format was replaced by the 
.2bit format (see this page: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat for 
descriptions of the .nib and .2bit formats).

I hope this information is helpful.
