  • iGenome ftp site

    Hi,

    Sorry for this naive question. I would like to get the GTF files from Illumina's iGenome ftp site, but don't have access. I can download from http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html

    but how to access from a linux server? It prompted for user name and pwd which were denied.

    thanks!

    Worked for me:
    ftp ftp://igenome:[email protected]

    I did this ...
    -bash-3.00$ ftp
    ftp> open ussd-ftp.illumina.com
    Connected to ussd-ftp.illumina.com.
    220 EFT Server 6.4.1 Build 12.19.2011.1
    500 Protocol not supported.
    500 Protocol not supported.
    KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
    Name (ussd-ftp.illumina.com:finneyr): igenome
    331 Password required for igenome.
    Password: (note, enter G3nom3s4u )
    230 Login OK. Proceed.

    ftp> pwd

    ftp> cd Homo_sapiens
    250 Folder changed to "/Homo_sapiens".
    ftp> cd NCBI/build37.1
    250 Folder changed to "/Homo_sapiens/NCBI/build37.1".
    ftp> ls

    ftp>
    ....

    Better yet just use "wget".

    Search for wget for more info.

      Thank you. I thought that was what I entered. I will try again tomorrow.

        Both wget and get worked.

        is wget generally preferred becaused it downloads faster?

          wget is very convenient for scripting.
          For instance you can scrape the page, filter out the URLs, pick the ones you want and slap a "wget " in front and pipe it to a shell. Tricky but easily do-able with with a little experience.

          ftp and (sftp with -b parameter) is scriptable, too.

          They are both the same speed as they're written in C and implement the same protocol (though wget does support other protocols, notably the http protocol). Any difference you see are probably network congestion or the result of I/O caching.

              Sorry for reviving this old topic, but I cannot connect to ussd-ftp.illumina.com. It says : connection reset by peer.

              How can I download the human genome hg19?

                Are you behind an institutional firewall that is preventing you from downloading?
                The iGenomes/Illumina server is up and available.

                If you only need the hg19 sequence then you can get it from other locations:

                UCSC: http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/bigZips/
                Ensembl: ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-73...o_sapiens/dna/
                NCBI: ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/H_sapiens/

                    Dear all, I cannot access the iGenome ftp server too. Is there some problem?

                    Thanks

                      Server is up and available. Local firewall may be preventing you from reaching the site.

                        Dear GenoMax I tried from different computers in different institution, so I don't think is a problem of firewall... have you tried to download this? ftp://ussd-ftp.illumina.com/Mus_musc..._GRCm38.tar.gz

                        Best and thanks for your prompt reply

                          The link you posted is working for me (with right login/password, see below).

                          You are trying to download a genome that is not listed on the iGenomes site (http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html). If you look at one of the existing download links at the igenomes site you will see the account name/password (embedded in the link) that you need to use for the FTP site (which will work for the link above).

                          Post #2 in this thread has the login information you need.

                            Many thanks for your advice. We have some IP problem apparently. We managed accessing a computer in another city(!). Many thanks again!

                              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
