FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY
=======================
NOTE:  The files in this directory have been renamed with "Hs"
(for Homo sapiens) appearing somewhere in the filename.  A mouse
version of UniGene is under construction and the prefix "Mm"
(Mus musculus) will be used analogously for these file.


Hs.info
  
   Some statistics for the current build


Hs.seq.all.Z

   Human transcript sequences derived both known genes and ESTs that
   have been partitioned into clusters.  The lines beginning with the
   # character delimit the clusters. The cluster identifier, 
   which is NOT guaranteed to remain stable across UG builds, 
   appears as Xx.99999, with Xx the two-letter organism abbreviation.
   Otherwise, the sequences are
   shown in FASTA-style.  The number following the # is the UniGene
   sequence ID; This number won't change from UG build to build, though 
   the sequence may not remain in the same (or in any) cluster across UG builds.
   If the GB or dbEST sequence is updated, the UG sid remains the same.
   Note that individual clusters may be downloaded from the main 
   UniGene website.

	

Hs.seq.uniq.Z

   One sequence selected from each UniGene cluster (the one with the 
   longest region of high-quality sequence data).  This file was 
   intended to be used for BLAST/FASTA searching.  

Hs.data.Z

   NOTE:  This is a new file and the format is still undergoing revision.
