Downloading Data using MySQL

+The UCSC Genome Browser uses MariaDB as our backend database server. MariaDB is a community-developed, +commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system, intended to remain +free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License. +

We have two MariaDB databases for public access:

The data are synchronized weekly with the main databases on our public site. During synchronization, the MariaDB server can be intermittently out of sync with the main website for a short period of time. The weekly synchronization takes place on Monday mornings from 4:00 am to 9:00 am Pacific Time (GMT -7:00 in summer, GMT -8:00 in winter).

Connecting

You must have MySQL client libraries installed on your computer. We recommend using the most current version of the v5.0 MySQL clients.

You can connect to the US MariaDB server using the command:

mysql --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.soe.ucsc.edu -A -P 3306

Or the European MariaDB server with this command:

mysql --user=genome --host=genome-euro-mysql.soe.ucsc.edu -A -P 3306

 The db.* and central.* settings tell our utilities how to connect to the public MariaDB server.
 The gbdbLoc1 setting tells our utilities where to find data files.
 The forceTwoBit setting is necessary for utilities that retrieve genomic sequence.
