This directory contains alignments of Human (hg38, Dec. 2013, GRC Build GRCh38)
to itself, primary chromosomes only 1-22,X,Y,M

Files included in this directory:

  - md5sum.txt: md5sum checksums for the files in this directory

  - hg38.hg38.all.chain.gz: chained lastz alignments. The chain format is
    described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/chain.html .

The hg38 assembly was aligned to itself by the lastz (v1.03.52) alignment
program, which is available from Webb Miller's lab at Penn State
University (http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/).  Any hg38 sequences larger
than 20,000,000 bases were split into chunks of 20,010,000 bases overlapping
by 10,000 bases for alignment.  The query sequence, hg38, was split
into chunks of 20,000,000 overlapping by 0.  Following alignment, the
coordinates of the chunk alignments were corrected by the
blastz-normalizeLav script written by Scott Schwartz of Penn State. 

The lastz scoring matrix (Q parameter) used was the default lastz matrix:

           A    C    G    T
      A   91 -114  -31 -123
      C -114  100 -125  -31
      G  -31 -125  100 -114
      T -123  -31 -114   91

with a gap open penalty of O=400, a gap extension penalty of E=30,
--x_drop X=910, --y_drop Y=9400, --hsp_threshold K=3000,
--gapped_threshold L=3000 --inner H=2000,
T=1 (--seed=12of19 1110100110010101111 --transition), --step Z=1

The .axt format lastz output was translated to the .psl format with
axtToPsl | pslDropOverlap to remove alignments of sequences to themselves,
then chained by the axtChain program.

Chain minimum score: 10000, and linearGap matrix of (medium):

All programs run after lastz were written by Jim Kent at UCSC.

    password: <your email address>
    go to the directory goldenPath/hg38/vsSelf

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.
