The /download/sequence/ directory contains sequences from the genome sequencing projects for Candida albicans SC5314 and other related strains and species: Candida albicans WO-1 Candida dubliniensis CD36 Candida glabrata CBS138 Candida guilliermondii ATCC 6260 Candida lusitaniae ATCC 42720 Candida parapsilosis CDC 317 Candida tropicalis MYA-3404 Debaryomyces hansenii CBS767 Lodderomyces elongisporus NRLL YB-4239 For Candida albicans SC5314, current files are generated weekly and reflect the most current information at CGD. For related strains and species, sequences are downloaded periodically from the source databases. Check the "README" files in the respective directories for the source database and most recent update. All files are gzip compressed. There are several freely available software options for decompressing gzipped files using Windows. The software and other useful information is available on these web sites: - WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/) - Stuffit (http://www.stuffit.com/) - Gzip (http://www.gzip.org/ and the gzip user's manual: http://www.math.utah.edu/docs/info/gzip_toc.html Additional sequence documentation is found on the CGD web site at: http://www.candidagenome.org/help/SequenceHelp.shtml ------------------------------------------------
