Hg38 Diff (hg38ContigDiff) Track Description
 

Description

This track shows the differences between the GRCh37 (hg19) and GRCh38 (hg38) human genome assemblies, indicating hg19 contigs (or portions of contigs) that were not carried forward to the newer assembly.

The following color/score key is used:

item
color
item
score
type of change from hg19 to hg38
 0hg19 contig dropped in the construction of the hg38 assembly
 500Different portions of this same contig used in the construction of hg38 and hg19 assemblies
 1000Contig updated in hg38 to correct sequence errors present in hg19 version

Use the score filter to select which categories to show in the display.

Methods

The contig coordinates were extracted from the AGP files for both assemblies. Contigs that matched the same name, same version, and the same specific portion of sequence in both assemblies were considered identical between the two assemblies and were excluded from this data set. The remaining contigs are shown in this track.
