Genomes FTP site update (version 1.3) adds new data formats and more

NCBI has released a comprehensive update of all current genome assemblies in the Genomes FTP site, affecting data reported in the /genomes/genbank/, /genomes/refseq/ and /genomes/all/ FTP directories. This update adds nucleotide FASTA sequences of CDS and RNA features computed from the genome sequence, expands the scope of the /genbank/ data to include metagenomes, and more. The FTP content of nearly all "latest" GenBank and RefSeq assemblies was updated to reflect these changes between 5/11/2016 and 6/24/2016.
