This directory contains alignments of the following assemblies:
- target/reference: Orangutan
(ponAbe2, July 2007 (WUGSC 2.0.2/ponAbe2),
WUSTL 3.0)
- query: Tarsier
(tarSyr2, Sep. 2013 (Tarsius_syrichta-2.0.1/tarSyr2),
Washington University)
Files included in this directory:
- md5sum.txt: md5sum checksums for the files in this directory
- ponAbe2.tarSyr2.all.chain.gz: chained blastz alignments. The chain format is
described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/chain.html .
- ponAbe2.tarSyr2.net.gz: "net" file that describes rearrangements between
the species and the best Tarsier match to any part of the
Orangutan genome. The net format is described in
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/net.html .
- axtNet/*.ponAbe2.tarSyr2.net.axt.gz: chained and netted alignments,
i.e. the best chains in the Orangutan genome, with gaps in the best
chains filled in by next-best chains where possible. The axt format is
described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/axt.html .
The ponAbe2 and tarSyr2 assemblies were aligned by the blastz alignment
program, which is available from Webb Miller's lab at Penn State
University (http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/). Any ponAbe2 sequences larger
than 20,010,000 bases were split into chunks of 20,010,000 bases overlapping
by 10,000 bases for alignment. A similar process was followed for tarSyr2,
with chunks of 20,000,000 overlapping by 0. Following alignment, the
coordinates of the chunk alignments were corrected by the
blastz-normalizeLav script written by Scott Schwartz of Penn State.
The blastz scoring matrix (Q parameter) used was:
A C G T
A 100 -174 -27 -121
C -174 96 -175 -27
G -27 -175 96 -174
T -121 -27 -174 100
with a gap open penalty of O=400 and a gap extension penalty of E=30.
The minimum score for an alignment to be kept was K=3000 for the first pass
and L=3000 for the second pass, which restricted the search space to the
regions between two alignments found in the first pass. The minimum
score for alignments to be interpolated between was H=2000. Other blastz
parameters specifically set for this species pair:
E=30
M=50
O=400
T=2
X=1000
Y=3400
The .lav format blastz output was translated to the .psl format with
lavToPsl, then chained by the axtChain program.
Chain minimum score: 3000, and linearGap matrix of (medium):

Chained alignments were processed into nets by the chainNet, netSyntenic,
and netClass programs.
Best-chain alignments in axt format were extracted by the netToAxt program.
All programs run after blastz were written by Jim Kent at UCSC.

we recommend you use ftp rather than downloading the files via our website.
To do so, ftp to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu, then go to the directory
goldenPath/ponAbe2/vsTarSyr2/. To download multiple files, use the "mget"
command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all files in the current directory)
