The /download/sequence/ directory contains sequences from the genome
sequencing projects for Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 and other related
strains and species:

Aspergillus clavatus NRRL 1
Aspergillus flavus NRRL 3357
Aspergillus fumigatus A1163
Aspergillus fumigatus Af293
Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4
Aspergillus niger ATCC 1015
Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88
Aspergillus oryzae RIB40/ATCC 42149
Aspergillus terreus NIH2624
Neosartorya fischeri NRRL 181

For:
A. nidulans FGSC A4
A. fumigatus Af293
A. niger CBS 513.88
A. oryzae RIB40/ATCC 42149

current files are generated weekly and reflect
the most current information at AspGD. Whenever there has been a sequence
or annotation change, a new archive file is added. The version of the update
is included in the filename.

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 in FASTA format and are gzip compressed. There are several
freely available software options for decompressing gzipped files.  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:
