(Redirected from Common Download URL
In order to simplify the retrieval of common datasets, the Generic Model Organisms Database (GMOD) community has recommended a series of standard URLs, or a common download URL. Each participating MOD has an index page like the ones below, describing the species and datasets that are available.
| MOD | Standard URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <a href=”http://www.wormbase.org/” class=”external text” | ||
| rel=”nofollow”>WormBase</a> | <a href=”http://www.wormbase.org/genome/” class=”external free” | |

Genome datasets available through the GMOD commom URL
This standard specifies the following URLs (all located under http://your.org/). Display this HTML-formatted index page that contains links to each of the species available through common URLs. See also Todd Harris’ powerpoint presentation given at the Spring, 2005 GMOD meeting. The uses for these common URLs are two-fold:
| Standard URL | Description |
|---|---|
| /genome/Binomial_name | An index page for species “Binomial_name”. This will be an HTML-format page containing links to each of the genome releases. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/release | Leads to index for the named release. It should be an HTML-format page containing links to each of the data sets described below. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current | Leads to an index of the most current release, symbolic link style. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current/dna | Returns a FASTA file containing big DNA fragments (e.g. chromosomes). MIME type is application/x-fasta. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current/mrna | Returns a FASTA file containing spliced mRNA transcript sequences. MIME type is application/x-fasta. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current/ncrna | Returns a FASTA file containing non-coding RNA sequences. MIME type is application/x-fasta. |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current/protein | Returns a FASTA file containing all the protein sequences known to be encoded by the genome. MIME type is application/x-fasta |
| /genome/Binomial_name/current/feature | Returns a GFF3 file describing genome annotations. MIME type is application/x-gff3. |
Other names for this: Common download URL, Common URL, Standard URL
Note: MODs may optionally provide URLs in the short form of G_species (eg C_elegans) as a convenience for users. This should be supplied in addition to the full Binomial_name standard.
These projects provide data information at /genome/, if not yet in the common formats described below.
| MOD | Common URL | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Medicago | http://www.medicago.org/genome/ | Medicago truncatula plant genome |
| MaizeGDB | http://www.maizegdb.org/genome/ | Maize corn genome |
| Neurospora | http://www.neurosporagenome.org/genome/ | Neurospora crassa |
