\ map 0 bacEndPairs BAC End Pairs bed 6 + BAC End Pairs 0 15 0 0 0 127 127 127 0 0 0Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) are a key part of many large\ scale sequencing projects. A BAC typically consists of 50 - 300 kb of\ DNA. During the early phase of a sequencing project, it is common\ to sequence a single read (approximately 500 bases) off each end of\ a large number of BACs. Later on in the project, these BAC end reads\ can be mapped to the genome sequence. \
\This track shows these mappings\ in cases where both ends could be mapped. These BAC end pairs can\ be useful for validating the assembly over relatively long ranges. In some\ cases, the BACs are useful biological reagents. This track can also be\ used for determining which BAC contains a given gene, useful information\ for certain wet lab experiments.\ \
A valid pair of BAC end sequences must be\ at least 50 kb but no more than 600 kb away from each other. \ The orientation of the first BAC end sequence must be "+" and\ the orientation of the second BAC end sequence must be "-".
\ \BAC end sequences are placed on the assembled sequence using\ Jim Kent's \ blat \ program.

A CG-rich\ isochore is given a dark color, while a CG-poor isochore is a light\ color.
\Isochores were determined by first calculating the CG-content of 100,000 bp\ windows across the genome. These windows were either labeled H or L\ depending on whether the window contained a higher or lower GC-content\ than average. A two-state HMM was created in which one state represented\ GC-rich regions, and the other GC-poor. It was trained using the first 12\ chromosomes. The trained HMM was used to generate traces over all chromosomes.\ These traces define the boundaries of the isochores,\ and their type (GC-rich or AT-rich).

\ \\ mRNA sequences were aligned against the $organism genome using blat. When a \ single mRNA aligned in multiple places, only alignments having at least 98% \ base identity with the genomic sequence were kept. This set of mRNA \ alignments was further reduced by keeping only those mRNAs referenced by a \ protein in SWISS-PROT, TrEMBL, or TrEMBL-NEW.
\\ Among multiple mRNAs referenced by a single protein, the best mRNA was \ selected, based on a quality score derived from its length, the level of the\ match between its translation and the protein sequence, and its release date.\ The resulting mRNA and protein pairs were further filtered by removing \ short invalid entries and consolidating entries with identical CDS regions.\
\\ Finally, RefSeq entries derived from DNA sequences instead of \ mRNA sequences were added to produce the final data set shown in this track. \ Disease annotations were obtained from SWISS-PROT.
\ \\ The Known Genes track was produced at UCSC based primarily on cross-references\ between proteins from \ SWISS-PROT \ (including TrEMBL and TrEMBL-NEW) and mRNAs from \ GenBank\ contributed by scientists worldwide. \ NCBI RefSeq \ data were also included in this track.

\\ The track description page offers the following filter and configuration\ options:\
\ AceView attempts to find the best alignment of each mRNA/EST against the\ genome, and clusters the alignments into the least possible number of\ alternatively spliced transcripts. The reconstructed transcripts are then\ clustered into genes by simple transitive contact. To see the evidence that \ supports each transcript, click the "Outside Link" on an individual \ transcript's details page to access the NCBI AceView web site.
\\ Each AceView transcript model has a gene cluster designation\ (alternate name) that is categorized into a prediction class\ of either main or \ putative.
\\
Prediction Class: main \
Class of genes that includes the protein coding genes (defined\
here by CDS > 100 amino acids) and all genes with at least one\
well-defined standard intron, i.e., an intron with a GT-AG or GC-AG\
boundary, supported by at least one clone matching exactly, with\
no ambiguous bases, and the 8 bases on either side of the intron \
identical to the genome. Genes with a CDS smaller than 100 amino acids are\
included in this class if they meet one of the following conditions: they \
have a NCBI RefSeq sequence (NM_#) or an OMIM identifier, or they encode a \
protein with BlastP homology (< 1e-3) to a cDNA-supported nematode AceView \
protein.
\
Prediction Class: putative\
Class of genes that have no standard intron and do not\
encode CDS of more than 100 amino acids, yet may be sufficiently useful to \
justify not disregarding them completely. Putative genes may be of two\
types: either those supported by more than six cDNA clones or those that\
encode a putative protein with an interesting annotation. Examples include\
a PFAM motif, a BlastP hit to a species other than itself (< 1e-3), \
a transmembrane domain or other rare and meaningful domains\
identified by Psort2, or a highly probable localization in a cell\
compartment (excluding cytoplasm and nucleus).

\ CpG islands are associated with genes, particularly housekeeping\ genes, in vertebrates. CpG islands are typically common near\ transcription start sites, and may be associated with promoter\ regions. Normally a C (cytosine) base followed immediately by a \ G (guanine) base (a CpG) is rare in\ vertebrate DNA because the Cs in such an arrangement tend to be\ methylated. This methylation helps distinguish the newly synthesized\ DNA strand from the parent strand, which aids in the final stages of\ DNA proofreading after duplication. However, over evolutionary time\ methylated Cs tend to turn into Ts because of spontaneous\ deamination. The result is that CpGs are relatively rare unless\ there is selective pressure to keep them or a region is not methylated\ for some reason, perhaps having to do with the regulation of gene\ expression. CpG islands are regions where CpGs are present at\ significantly higher levels than is typical for the genome as a whole.\

\ \
Three types of predictions are displayed: exon, promoter and CpG window. \ If two consecutive predictions are separated by less than 1000 bp, \ FirstEF treats them as one cluster of alternative first exons that may \ belong to same gene. The cluster number is displayed in the parentheses \ of each item. For example, "exon(405-)" \ represents the exon prediction in cluster number 405 on the minus strand. \ The exon, promoter and CpG-window are interconnected by this cluster number. \ Alternative predictions within the same cluster are denoted by "#N" \ where "N" is the serial number of an alternative prediction in the \ cluster.
\ \Each predicted exon is either CpG-related or non-CpG-related, based on\ a score of the frequency of CpG dinucleotides.\ An exon is classified as CpG-related if the CpG score is greater \ than a threshold value, and non-CpG-related if less than the threshold. If an \ exon is CpG-related, \ its associated CpG-window is displayed. The browser displays features with higher\ scores in darker shades of gray/black.
\ \FirstEF is a 5' terminal exon and promoter\ prediction program. It consists of different discriminant functions structured\ as a decision tree. The probabilistic models are optimized to find potential\ first donor sites and CpG-related and non-CpG-related promoter regions based on\ discriminant analysis. For every potential first donor site (GT) and an upstream\ promoter region, FirstEF decides whether or not the intermediate region can be\ a potential first exon, based on a set of quadratic discriminant functions.\ FirstEF calculates the a posteriori probabilities of exon, donor, and\ promoter for a given GT and an upstream window of length 570 bp.

Description
\\ This track shows predictions of conserved elements produced by the phastCons\ program. They are based on a phylogenetic hidden Markov model\ (phylo-HMM), a type of probabilistic model that describes both the process\ of DNA substitution at each site in a genome and the way this process\ changes from one site to the next.
\ \Methods
\\ Best-in-genome pairwise alignments were generated for\ each species using blastz, followed by chaining and netting. A multiple\ alignment was then constructed from these pairwise alignments using multiz.\ Predictions of conserved elements were then obtained by running phastCons\ on the multiple alignments with the --viterbi option.
\\ PhastCons constructs a two-state phylo-HMM with a state for conserved\ regions and a state for non-conserved regions. The two states share a\ single phylogenetic model, except that the branch lengths of the tree\ associated with the conserved state are multiplied by a constant scaling\ factor &rho (0 &le &rho &le 1). The phylogenetic model and the scaling\ factor &rho are estimated from the data by maximum likelihood using an EM\ algorithm. The state-transition probabilities of the phylo-HMM may also be\ estimated by maximum likelihood, but we find that more biologically useful\ results are obtained by treating them as tuning parameters. The transition\ probabilities are set such that the "coverage" of the track (portion of\ sites in conserved elements) is approximately equal to the share of the\ reference genome believed to be under purifying selection (5% for mammalian\ genomes) and the prior expected length of a conserved element is 12 bp. To\ ensure that the scores in different regions of the genome are directly\ comparable, we first obtain global estimates of all parameters, by\ averaging estimates obtained from different regions of the genome, and\ then, in a second pass, we produce predictions across the genome using the\ same parameters everywhere. The predicted elements are segments of the\ alignment that are likely to have been "generated" by the conserved state\ of the phylo-HMM--i.e., maximal segments in which the maximum-likelihood\ (Viterbi) path completely resides in the conserved state.
\\ Each predicted conserved element is assigned a log-odds score equal to\ its log probability under the conserved model minus its log probability\ under the non-conserved model. The "score" field associated with this\ track contains transformed log-odds scores, taking values between 0 and\ 1000. (The scores are transformed using a monotonic function of the form a\ * log(x) + b.) The transformed scores determine how darkly each element is\ shaded in the browser, with higher scores resulting in darker shading and\ lower scores resulting lighter shading. The raw log odds scores are\ retained in the "name" field and can be seen on the details page or in the\ browser when the track's display mode is set to "pack" or "full".

\\ This track contains tBLASTn alignments of the peptides\ from the predicted and known genes identified in the D. melanogaster\ FlyBase as of 24 July 2004 to the $organism sequence.\ \
Methods
\\ First, predicted proteins from the D. melanogaster FlyBase track were\ aligned with the D. melanogaster genome using the blat program to \ discover exon boundaries. \ Next, the amino acid sequences that make up each exon were aligned with the \ $organism sequence using the tBLASTn program.\ Finally, the putative $organism exons were chained together using an \ organism-specific maximum gap size but no gap penalty. The single best exon \ chains extending over more than 60% of the query protein were included. Exon \ chains that extended over 60% of the query and matched at least 60% of the \ protein's amino acids were also included.\ \

\\ The Fugu whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by the\ US \ DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI). The assembly was constructed with the \ JGI assembler, JAZZ, from paired end sequencing reads produced at JGI, Myriad \ Genetics, and Celera Genomics, resulting in a sequence coverage of 5.7X. All \ reads are plasmid, cosmid, or BAC end-sequences, with the predominant coverage\ derived from 2 Kb insert plasmids. This assembly contains 20,379\ scaffolds totaling 319 million base pairs. The largest 679 scaffolds\ total 160 million base pairs. Gene modeling and analysis were\ performed at JGI, Singapore, Cambridge, and the Institute for Systems\ Biology.
\\ The strand information (+/-) for this track is in two parts. The\ first + or - indicates the orientation of the query sequence whose\ translated protein produced the match. The second + or - indicates the\ orientation of the matching translated genomic sequence. Because the two\ orientations of a DNA sequence give different predicted protein sequences,\ there are four combinations. ++ is not the same as --; nor is +- the same\ as -+.
\ \Methods
\\ The alignments were made with blat in translated protein mode requiring two \ nearby 4-mer matches to trigger a detailed alignment. The $organism\ genome was masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder before \ running blat.

Methods
\\ We passed a 100k non-overlapping window over the genome and - using the blastz best in mouse \ genome alignments - looked for high-scoring regions with at least 40% of the bases aligning \ with the same region in mouse. 100k segments were joined together if they agreed in direction and\ were within 500kb of each other in the human genome and within 4mb of each other in the mouse. \ Gaps were joined between syntenic anchors if the bases between two flanking regions agreed with \ synteny (direction and mouse location). Finally, we extended the syntenic block to include those \ areas.

Description
\\ This track shows $o_organism/$organism genomic alignments using\ a gap scoring system that allows longer gaps than traditional\ affine gap scoring systems. It can also tolerate gaps in both $o_organism \ and $organism simultaneously. These "double-sided"\ gaps can be caused by local inversions and overlapping deletions\ in both species. The $o_organism sequence is from the $o_date ($o_db)\ assembly.
\\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or \ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions. \ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the \ $o_organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism assembly.\ Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one \ species. In cases where there are multiple \ chains over a particular portion of the $organism genome, chains with \ single-lined gaps are often due to processed pseudogenes, while chains \ with double-lined gaps are more often due to paralogs and unprocessed \ pseudogenes. In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and \ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ Transposons that have been inserted since the $o_organism/$organism\ split were removed, and the resulting abbreviated genomes were\ aligned with blastz. The transposons were then put back into the\ alignments. The resulting alignments were converted into axt format\ and the resulting axts fed into axtChain. AxtChain organizes all the \ alignments between a single $o_organism and a single $organism chromosome\ into a group and makes a kd-tree out of all the gapless subsections\ (blocks) of the alignments. Next, maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks were found by running a dynamic program over the kd-tree. Chains\ scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining chains are\ displayed here.

\\ In full display mode, the top-level (level 1)\ chains are the largest, highest-scoring chains that\ span this region. In many cases gaps exist in the\ top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by\ other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in \ level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so\ forth.

The detailed information is useful in determining\ the cause of the gap or, for lower level chains, the genomic\ rearrangement.

\\
\ \- Top - the best, longest match. Displayed on level 1.\
- Syn - line-ups on the same chromosome as the gap in the level above\ it.\
- Inv - a line-up on the same chromosome as the gap above it, but in \ the opposite orientation.\
- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.

It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_Organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. \
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_Organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ Transposons that have been inserted since the $o_Organism/$organism\ split were removed from the assemblies. The abbreviated genomes were\ aligned with blastz, and the transposons were then added back in.\ The resulting alignments were converted into axt format using the lavToAxt\ program. The axt alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all\ alignments between a single $o_Organism chromosome and a single\ $organism chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out\ of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program\ was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks. Chains scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining\ chains are displayed in this track.

Methods
\\ We passed a 100k non-overlapping window over the genome and using the Blastz best in rat \ genome alignments - looked for high-scoring regions with at least 40% of the bases aligning \ with the same region in rat. 100k segments were joined together if they agreed in direction and\ were within 500kb of each other in the $organism genome and within 4mb of each other in the rat. \ Gaps were joined between syntenic anchors if the bases between two flanking regions agreed with \ synteny (direction and rat location). Finally, we extended the syntenic block to include those \ areas.

Description
\\ This track shows the best $o_Organism/$organism chain for \ every part of the $organism genome. It is useful for\ finding orthologous regions and for studying genome\ rearrangement. The $o_Organism sequence used in this annotation is from\ the $o_date ($o_db) assembly.
\ \Display Conventions and Configuration
\\ In full display mode, the top-level (level 1)\ chains are the largest, highest-scoring chains that\ span this region. In many cases gaps exist in the\ top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by\ other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in \ level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so\ forth.
\\ In the graphical display, the boxes represent ungapped \ alignments; the lines represent gaps. Click\ on a box to view detailed information about the chain\ as a whole; click on a line to display information\ about the gap. The detailed information is useful in determining\ the cause of the gap or, for lower level chains, the genomic\ rearrangement.
\\ Individual items in the display are categorized as one of four types\ (other than gap):
\\
\ \- Top - the best, longest match. Displayed on level 1.\
- Syn - line-ups on the same chromosome as the gap in the level above\ it.\
- Inv - a line-up on the same chromosome as the gap above it, but in \ the opposite orientation.\
- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.
\ \Credits
\\ The chainNet, netSyntenic, and netClass programs were\ developed at the University of California\ Santa Cruz by Jim Kent.
\\ Blastz was developed at Pennsylvania State University by\ Scott Schwartz, Zheng Zhang, and Webb Miller with advice from\ Ross Hardison.

\\ This track consolidates all the Simple Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) into\ a single track. This represents data from dbSnp and commercially-available \ genotyping arrays.\
\\ Please be aware that some mapping inconsistencies are known to exist in \ the dbSnp data set. If you encounter information that seems incorrect on \ the details page for a variant, we advise you to verify the record information\ on the dbSnp website using the provided link. In some\ known instances, the size of the variant does not match the size of its \ genomic location; UCSC is working with dbSnp to correct these errors in\ the data set. \
\Interpreting and Configuring the Graphical Display
\\ Variants are shown as single tick marks at most zoom levels.\ When viewing the track at or near base-level resolution, the displayed\ width of the SNP corresponds to the width of the variant in the reference\ sequence. Insertions are indicated by a single tick mark displayed between\ two nucleotides, single nucleotide polymorphisms are displayed as the width \ of a single base, and multiple nucleotide variants are represented by a \ block that spans two or more bases.\
\\ When the start coordinate for a SNP is shown as chromStart = chromEnd+1 on \ the SNP's details page, this is generally not an \ error; rather, it indicates that the variant is an insertion at this genomic\ position. In these instances, the location type will be set to \ "between". Note that insertions are represented as chromStart = \ chromEnd in the snp table accessible from the Table Browser \ or downloads server, due to the half-open zero-based representation of\ data in the underlying database. \
\\ The colors of variants in the display may be changed to highlight\ their source, molecule type, variant class, validation status, or\ functional classification. Variants can be excluded from the display\ based on these same criteria or if they fall below the\ user-specified minimum \ average heterozygosity. The track configuration options are\ located at the top of the SNPs track\ description page. By default variants are colored by functional\ classification, with SNPs likely to cause a phenotype in red\ (non-synonymous and splice site mutations).\

Large Scale SNP Annotation at UCSF
\\ LS-SNP is a database of functional and structural SNP annotations\ with links to protein structure models. Annotations are based on a\ variety of features extracted from protein structure, sequence, and\ evolution. Currently only coding non-synonomous SNPs are included.\ LS-SNP at UCSF.\
\ \Data Filtering
\\ The SNPs in this track include all known polymorphisms available in the\ current build of dbSnp that can be mapped against the current assembly. \ The version of dbSnp from which these data were obtained can be found in the\ SNP track entry in the Genome Browser \ release log.\
\\ There are two reasons that some variants may not be mapped and/or\ annotated in this track:\
\
\ \- \ Submissions are completely masked as repetitive elements.\ These are dropped from any further computations. This set of\ reference SNPs is found in chromosome "rs_chMasked" on\ the dbSNP\ ftp site.\
\- \ Submissions are defined in a cDNA context with extensive\ splicing. These SNPs are typically annotated on refSeq mRNAs\ through a separate annotation process. Effort is being made to\ reverse map these variations back to contig coordinates, but\ that has not been implemented. For now, you can find this set of\ variations in "rs_chNotOn" on the dbSNP ftp\ site. \
\\ The heuristics for the non-SNP variations (i.e. named elements and\ short tandem repeats (STRs)) are quite conservative; therefore, some of \ these are probably lost. This approach was chosen to avoid false \ annotation of variation in inappropriate locations.\

\\ This track consolidates all the Simple Nucleotide Polymorphisms \ into a single track.
\ \Filtering
\\ The SNPs in this track include all known polymorphisms that\ can be mapped against the current assembly. These include known point\ mutations (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), insertions, deletions,\ and segmental mutations from the current build of \ dbSnp, \ which is shown in the Genome Browser \ release log.\
\\ There are three major cases that are not mapped and/or annotated:\
\
\ \- \ Submissions that are completely masked as repetitive elements. \ These are dropped from any further computations. This set of\ reference SNPs is found in chromosome "rs_chMasked"\ on the dbSNP ftp\ site.\
- \ Submissions that are defined in a cDNA context with extensive\ splicing. These SNPs are typically annotated on refSeq mRNAs through a\ separate annotation process. Effort is being made to reverse map these\ variations back to contig coordinates, but that has not been\ implemented. For now, you can find this set of variations in\ "rs_chNotOn" on the dbSNP ftp site.\
- \ Submissions with excessive hits to the genome. Variations with 3+ hits\ to the genome are not included in the tracks, but are available in\ "rs_chMulti" on the dbSNP ftp site.\
The heuristics for the non-SNP variations (i.e. named elements and\ STRs) are quite conservative; therefore, some of these are probably lost. This\ approach was chosen to avoid false annotation of variation in\ inappropriate locations.

\\ This track was created by using Arian Smit's RepeatMasker program, which screens DNA sequences \ for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The program\ outputs a detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the \ query sequence, as well as a modified version of the query sequence \ in which all the annotated repeats have been masked. RepeatMasker uses \ the RepBase library of repeats from the \ Genetic \ Information Research Institute (GIRI). \ RepBase is described in Jurka, J. (2000) in the References section below.
\ \Display Conventions and Configuration
\\ In full display mode, this track displays nine different classes of repeats:\
\
\- Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), which include ALUs\
- Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs)\
- Long terminal repeat elements (LTRs), which include retroposons\
- DNA repeat elements (DNA)\
- Simple repeats (micro-satellites)\
- Low complexity repeats\
- Satellite repeats\
- tRNA repeats\
- Other repeats\
\ The level of color shading in the graphical display reflects the amount of \ base mismatch, base deletion, and base insertion associated with a repeat \ element. The higher the combined number of these, the lighter the shading.
\ \Methods
\\ UCSC has used the most current versions of the RepeatMasker software \ and repeat libraries available to generate these data. Note that these \ versions may be newer than those that are publicly available on the Internet. \
\\ Data are generated using the RepeatMasker -s flag. Additional flags\ may be used for certain organisms. Repeats are soft-masked. Alignments may \ extend through repeats, but are not permitted to initiate in them. \ See the \ FAQ for \ more information.

\\ This track shows alignments of $o_Organism ($o_db, $o_date) to the\ $organism genome using a gap scoring system that allows longer gaps \ than traditional affine gap scoring systems. It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_Organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. \
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_Organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.

\\ The Fugu v.3.0 whole genome shotgun assembly was provided by the\ US DOE Joint \ Genome Institute (JGI). The assembly was constructed with the JGI\ assembler, JAZZ, from paired end sequencing reads produced at JGI, Myriad \ Genetics, and Celera Genomics, resulting in a sequence coverage of 5.7X. All \ reads are plasmid, cosmid, or BAC end-sequences, with the predominant coverage\ derived from 2 Kb insert plasmids. This assembly contains 20,379\ scaffolds totaling 319 million base pairs. The largest 679 scaffolds\ total 160 million base pairs.
\\ The strand information (+/-) for this track is in two parts. The\ first + or - indicates the orientation of the query sequence whose\ translated protein produced the match. The second + or - indicates the\ orientation of the matching translated genomic sequence. Because the two\ orientations of a DNA sequence give different predicted protein sequences,\ there are four combinations. ++ is not the same as --; nor is +- the same\ as -+.
\ \Methods
\\ The alignments were made with blat in translated protein mode requiring two\ nearby 4-mer matches to trigger a detailed alignment. The $organism\ genome was masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder before \ running blat.

- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.

\\ Oligos were chosen for every Sanger22 annotation on chr22 as\ well as about 2000 other genes. Two oligos were chosen with\ a 3' bias, two with a 5' bias, and two with no bias. For this\ purpose exons are defined to include 3' and 5' UTRs.
\ \The strategy
\\ These oligo selections are based on the following ideas:\
\
\- Oligos should have minimum secondary structure as\ they must be available for hybridization.
\- Oligos should be unique in genome if possible. No\ repeats, should not Blat or Blast other places in genome.
\- If using oligo-dT for RT-Priming oligos should be in 3' end\ of gene transcript (including UTR).
\- Oligos should have a uniform hybridization temperature if\ possible. All oligos must be hybridized at same temperature,\ want to minimize cross hybe yet maximize signal.\
\ Currently we don't have data to identify which parameters\ are more important than others. Also, some of these scores\ are overlapping (i.e. if tm is limited then high secondary\ structure is less likely). See below for histograms of these\ criteria.
\ \
\ \The Details:
\ \The Algorithm
\\
\
\ \- Step through each exon at a step size proportional to the\ size of the exon examining possible oligos, excluding areas that\ are RepeatMasked.
\- Score each oligos for: Tm difference, distance from 3' end,\ secondary structure, and an Affymetrix heuristic.
\- Look through candidate probes remembering the maximum\ score for each score.
\- Each score is then normalized by dividing by the maximum\ and then the normalized scores are combined as an average and oligos\ are sorted to find the best overall score.
\- Oligos with the best combined normalized scores are blatted\ until one is found that has a blat score below a given \ threshold.
\- As oligos are chosen, candidate oligos that overlap those\ already chosen are discarded.
\- If no scores pass the blat score or not enough oligos have been\ chosen just pick oligos that have the best combined score.
\About the scores:
\\
\
\ \ \- Tm: Formulas for calculating Tm taken from: "A unified\ view of polymer, dumbbell, and oligonucleotide DNA\ nearest-neighbor thermodynamics" John SantaLucia, Jr. PNAS, Vol\ 95, pp 1460-1465 February 1998.
A web version called \ Hyther exists.\- Secondary Structure: Calculates the Gibbs free energy of the\ best secondary structure using libraries from the RNAstructure program.
\- Affy Heuristic: 1 if oligo passes heuristics derived from that published by Affymetrix \ "Nature Biotechnology" vol. 14, Dec, '96) are satisfied, 0 otherwise. The heuristic\ is as follows:\
\\ no more than 9 A's in window of 20 \ no more than 9 T's in window of 20\ no more than 8 C's in window of 20\ no more than 8 G's in window of 20\ \ no more than 6 A's in window of 8\ no more than 6 T's in window of 8\ no more than 5 C's in window of 8 \ no more than 5 G's in window of 8\\- 3' Dist: Distance from end of oligo to 3' end of target\ sequence.
\- Blat Score: Blat score of second most homologous region\ in the genome. If no inserts this is approximately the number of\ base pairs that match.
\Histograms of Scores
\\ Histograms are from the Stanford picked gene set.\
\
\ \\ \\
\ Secondary structure measured in Gibb's Free energy, higher scores are better.\
\ Blat (similar to blast) histogram, lower scores are better.\ \\
\ Melting temperatures, scores over 100C do happen in algorithm.\
\ Percentage GC, not used in algorithm but presented anyway.Please note that all coordinates are relative to the '+' strand\ while all oligo sequences are 5'->3'. This means that all sequences\ displayed are part of the sense strand. So if the oligo is represented\ in the database as being on the '-' strand and starts at 1 and ends at\ 5 of 'atgcatgc' the '+' sequence of the probe would be 'tgcat' but\ that is 3'->5' on the '-' strand so the sequence in the sequence would\ be the reverse complement 'atgct'.

\\ This track shows alignments of $o_organism ($o_db, $o_date) to the\ $organism genome using a gap scoring system that allows longer gaps \ than traditional affine gap scoring systems. It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. \
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ Transposons that have been inserted since the $o_organism/$organism\ split were removed from the assemblies. The abbreviated genomes were\ aligned with blastz, and the transposons were added back in.\ The resulting alignments were converted into axt format using the lavToAxt\ program. The axt alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all\ alignments between a single $o_organism chromosome and a single\ $organism chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out\ of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program\ was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks. Chains scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining\ chains are displayed in this track.

\This track displays alignments of the current mouse assembly (phusion.3)\ against regions of the human genome contained in an ancient copies of\ transposable elements. In this case "ancient" means that RepeatMasker's\ annotation indicates that the copy was fixed as an interspersed repeat in\ a common ancestor of human and mouse. These regions are of interest\ because they, more likely then any other region, have not been under\ functional constraint.\ Each block in the alignment is displayed as a colored block on the track\ with a line connecting all the blocks. The color of each alignment\ indicates the percent identity of aligned residues over all blocks of the\ alignment. 50% identity and below is lightly colored and the color gets\ linearly darker as the percent identity approaches 100%.\ In the alignments, lower case letters indicate that RepeatMasker annotated\ them as an interspersed repeat. Because of the high substitution rate in\ the mouse lineage, the element often only was recognized in the human\ genome. The original alignments often are much longer, but only the region\ witin the repeat is displayed.\ \

\The sequences were aligned with blastz (discontiguous exact seeds,\ ungapped extension, local alignments via dynamic programming) and\ postprocessed for single coverage.\ \

It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_Organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. \
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_Organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the scaffold, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ Transposons that have been inserted since the \ $o_Organism/$organism\ split were removed from the assemblies. The abbreviated genomes were\ aligned with blastz, and the transposons were then added back in.\ The resulting alignments were converted into axt format using the lavToAxt\ program. The axt alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all\ alignments between a single $o_Organism scaffold and a single\ $organism chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out\ of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program\ was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks. Chains scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining\ chains are displayed in this track.

\ \Display Conventions and Configuration
\\ In full display mode, the top-level (level 1)\ chains are the largest, highest-scoring chains that\ span this region. In many cases gaps exist in the\ top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by\ other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in \ level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so\ forth.
\\ In the graphical display, the boxes represent ungapped \ alignments; the lines represent gaps. Click\ on a box to view detailed information about the chain\ as a whole; click on a line to display information\ about the gap. The detailed information is useful in determining\ the cause of the gap or, for lower level chains, the genomic\ rearrangement.
\\ Individual items in the display are categorized as one of four types\ (other than gap):
\\
\ \- Top - the best, longest match. Displayed on level 1.\
- Syn - line-ups on the same chromosome as the gap in the level above\ it.\
- Inv - a line-up on the same chromosome as the gap above it, but in \ the opposite orientation.\
- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.

\\ This track shows alignments of $o_organism ($o_db, $o_date) to the\ $organism genome using a gap scoring system that allows longer gaps \ than traditional affine gap scoring systems. It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. \
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ Transposons that have been inserted since the $o_organism/$organism\ split were removed from the assemblies. The abbreviated genomes were\ aligned with blastz, and the transposons were then added back in.\ The resulting alignments were converted into axt format using the lavToAxt\ program. The axt alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all\ alignments between a single $o_organism chromosome and a single\ $organism chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out\ of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program\ was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks. Chains scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining\ chains are displayed in this track.

\ \Display Conventions and Configuration
\\ In full display mode, the top-level (level 1)\ chains are the largest, highest-scoring chains that\ span this region. In many cases gaps exist in the\ top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by\ other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in \ level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so\ forth.
\\ In the graphical display, the boxes represent ungapped \ alignments; the lines represent gaps. Click\ on a box to view detailed information about the chain\ as a whole; click on a line to display information\ about the gap. The detailed information is useful in determining\ the cause of the gap or, for lower level chains, the genomic\ rearrangement.
\\ Individual items in the display are categorized as one of four types\ (other than gap):
\\
\ \- Top - the best, longest match. Displayed on level 1.\
- Syn - line-ups on the same chromosome as the gap in the level above\ it.\
- Inv - a line-up on the same chromosome as the gap above it, but in \ the opposite orientation.\
- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.

\\ This track shows the best $o_organism/$organism chain for \ every part of the $organism genome. It is useful for\ finding orthologous regions and for studying genome\ rearrangement. The $o_organism sequence used in this annotation is from\ the $o_date ($o_db) assembly.
\ \Display Conventions and Configuration
\\ In full display mode, the top-level (level 1)\ chains are the largest, highest-scoring chains that\ span this region. In many cases gaps exist in the\ top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by\ other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in \ level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so\ forth.
\\ In the graphical display, the boxes represent ungapped \ alignments; the lines represent gaps. Click\ on a box to view detailed information about the chain\ as a whole; click on a line to display information\ about the gap. The detailed information is useful in determining\ the cause of the gap or, for lower level chains, the genomic\ rearrangement.
\\ Individual items in the display are categorized as one of four types\ (other than gap):
\\
\ \- Top - the best, longest match. Displayed on level 1.\
- Syn - line-ups on the same chromosome as the gap in the level above\ it.\
- Inv - a line-up on the same chromosome as the gap above it, but in \ the opposite orientation.\
- NonSyn - a match to a chromosome different from the gap in the \ level above.\
Methods
\\ Chains were derived from blastz alignments, using the methods\ described on the chain tracks description pages, and sorted with the \ highest-scoring chains in the genome ranked first. The program\ chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as \ necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. \ During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled \ a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program \ netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between \ higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level\ chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. \ The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains \ contained Ns (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much\ was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms \ diverged.
\ \Credits
\\ The chainNet, netSyntenic, and netClass programs were\ developed at the University of California\ Santa Cruz by Jim Kent.
\\ Blastz was developed at Pennsylvania State University by\ Scott Schwartz, Zheng Zhang, and Webb Miller with advice from\ Ross Hardison.

\\ This track shows alignments of $o_organism ($o_db, $o_date) to the\ $organism genome using a gap scoring system that allows longer gaps \ than traditional affine gap scoring systems. It can also tolerate gaps in both\ $o_organism and $organism simultaneously. These \ "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and \ overlapping deletions in both species. The $o_organism genomic sequence is\ from the 13 Nov. 2003 Arachne draft assembly.\
\ The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or\ double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions.\ Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the\ $o_organism assembly or an insertion in the $organism \ assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial\ sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping\ deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one\ species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of\ the $organism genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often \ due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more \ often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.
\\ In the "pack" and "full" display\ modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and\ location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.
\ \Methods
\\ The alignments were generated by blastz on repeatmasked sequence using\ the following $organism/$o_organism scoring matrix:\
\ A C G T\ A 100 -300 -150 -300\ C -300 100 -300 -150\ G -150 -300 100 -300\ T -300 -150 -300 100\ \ K = 4500, L = 3000, Y = 3400, H = 2000\\\ The resulting alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all\ alignments between a single $o_organism chromosome and a single\ $organism chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out\ of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program\ was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these\ blocks. Chains scoring below a threshold were discarded; the remaining\ chains are displayed here.
