Hi Arnoldo, The answer to your question depends on what you are going to use the data for. Please keep in mind that the UCSC Genome Browser simply displays data; it does not say what is or is not acceptable analysis of this data.
Please feel free to contact the mail list again if you require further assistance.

I would like to extract promoter regions of various sizes from different vertebrates. I am aware that you provide the upstreamXXXX.fa.gz files but I would like to have them repeatmasked. I decided to extract my data directly from the chromosomes using refFlat.txt files. I have noticed that some organisms have a small number of entries. Some organisms like the Panda do not have refFlat.txt at all. Would it be safe to approximate promoter regions with xenoRefFlat? Regards, -- Arnoldo J.
