DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:

        sequences/${ENCODE_REGION}/${COMMON_NAME}.${ENCODE_REGION}.fa
        RepeatMasker/${ACCESSION}.${VERSION}.out
        trf/${ACCESSION}.${VERSION}.bed
        alignments/${ALIGNER}/*.maf
        alignments/${ALIGNER}/${CONSERVATION}/

Each FASTA file will have all the sequence entries for a given species/region.

HEADER STRUCTURE:

>${COMMON_NAME}|${ENCODE_REGION}|${FREEZE_DATE}|${NCBI_TAXON_ID}|${ASSEMBLY_PROVIDER}|${FREEZE_DATE}|${ASSEMBLY_ID}|${CHROMOSOME}|${CHROMOSOME_START}|${CHROMOSOME_END}|${ACCESSION}.${VERSION}|${NUM_BASES}|${NUM_N}|${THIS_CONTIG_NUM}|${TOTAL_NUM_CONTIGS}|${COMMENT}

Where:

	${COMMON_NAME}		like 'baboon' or 'dusky_titi'
	${ENCODE_REGION}	like 'ENm001' or 'ENr223'
        ${FREEZE_DATE}		like 'AUG-2004'; latest date for inclusion in this freeze of the set of sequences encompassing the ENCODE regions
	${NCBI_TAXON_ID}	like '9555' or '9523'
	${ASSEMBLY_PROVIDER}	like 'NISC' or 'RGSC'
	${ASSEMBLY_DATE}	like 'NOV-2003' or '21-JUN-2003'; Date associated with the specific sequence assembly represented in this ENCODE freeze
	${ASSEMBLY_ID}		like 'rn3' or 'panTro1'
	${CHROMOSOME}		like 'chr1' or 'chr19_random'
	${CHROMOSOME_START}	[1 based]
	${CHROMOSOME_END}	[1 based]
        ${ACCESSION}.${VERSION}	like 'NT_107546.1'
        ${NUM_BASES}		Total number of called bases in the sequence entry, including N's
        ${NUM_N}		Total number of N's in the sequence entry
        ${THIS_CONTIG_NUM}	ID of sequence contig (see next variable).
        ${TOTAL_NUM_CONTIGS}	Total number of sequence contigs syntenic to a human region.
        ${COMMENT}		This is an example I hope we all agree on.

Not all fields need to contain information. For example when
${ASSEMBLY_PROVIDER} = NISC, there will be no ${ASSEMBLY_ID} or
chrom:start-stop coordinates.
