Hi Usha, I can't comment very much on Ensembl and Uniprot's data, other than to mention that your first link looks to me like Ensembl's version 64 genebuild for human, which we display as an annotation track on our GRCh37/hg19 human assembly. Your second link is to UniProt, which is a repository for protein data. I suggest contacting Ensembl and UniProt if you need more information about their data.
The "goldenPath data" at UCSC consists of both genomic sequence files and annotation data (data corresponding to tracks in the Genome Browser). The starting point for our downloadable files is here: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html Most directories will have a README file included, telling what the data consists of. To see how the names of the assemblies hosted by UCSC correspond to the names that are used by the data centers who produced them, see: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQreleases.html Some helpful introductions to various Genome Databases made by a company called Open Helix can be found here: http://www.openhelix.com/cgi/categoryInfo.cgi?id=3 If you have any more specific questions about the data at UCSC, or if we can help you find some particular data, please feel free to contact us again at [email protected]. -- Brooke Rhead UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 12/8/11 12:43 PM, Usha Reddy wrote: > I have a basic question.
