GENBANK FLATFILE DUMPS
-----------------------
This directory contains Strix occidentalis caurina GENBANK flatfile dumps. To ease
downloading of the files, the GENBANK format entries are bundled 
into groups of chromosomes and non-chromosomal regions.  
All files are then compacted with gzip.

GENBANK flat files include gene annotation and cross-references
to other data sources such as UniProt and GO.

The main body of the entry gives the same information as is in the main 
GENBANK flat file entry.

    * ID - the GENBANK id
    * AC - the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ accession number (only the primary 
           accession number used)
    * SV - The accession.version pair which gives the exact reference to 
           a particular sequence
    * CC - comment lines to help you interpret the entry 

Genes, transcripts, translations and exons are dumped into the
feature table of the Ensembl entry. Stable IDs for these features
are suffixed with a version if they have been generated by Ensembl
(this is typical for vertebrate species, but not for non-vertebrates).

    * Genes are 'gene' entries, with the gene stable ID as the 'gene'
      property

    * Transcripts are 'mRNA' entries, with the gene stable ID as the
      'gene' property, and the transcript stable ID as the
      'standard_name' property.

    * Translations are 'CDS' entries, with the gene stable ID as the
      'gene' property, the translation stable ID as the 'protein_id'
      property, and the amino acid sequences as the 'translation'
      property.

    * Exons are 'exon' entries.
