MGC Tracks

Information about the status of MGC clones are downloaded from NCBI and used in constructing a MGC-specific tracks. A track of MGC full-CDS clones is built for all browsers, while tracks containing the status of other MGC clones is constructed for the MGC browser.

MGC Pipeline Data

A dumps of tables from the MGC track database are deposted every Wednesday at 2 am EST at ftp-private.ncbi.nih.gov. The data is then processed by mgcImport to create tab files used to load the mgcStatus table. A script mgcDownload is run by cron to download and process the data.
