This file is from: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/calJac3/multiz13way/README.txt This directory contains compressed multiple alignments of the following assemblies to the Marmoset genome (calJac3, March 2009): - marmoset Callithrix jacchus Mar 2009, calJac3 reference - human Homo sapiens Feb 2009, hg19 chain nboon - Baboon Papio hamadryas Nov 2008, papHam1 recip best - Bushbaby Otolemur garnettii Dec 2006, otoGar1 recip best - Chimp Pan troglodytes Mar 2006, panTro2 chain net - Dog Canis lupus familiaris May 2005, canFam2 chain net - Gorilla Gorilla gorilla gorilla Oct 2009, gorGor2 recip best - Mouse Mus musculus July 2007, mm9 chain net - Opossum Monodelphis domestica Oct 2006, monDom5 chain net - Orangutan Pongo pygmaeus abelii July 2007, ponAbe2 chain net - Rhesus Macaca mulatta Jan 2006, rheMac2 chain net - Mouse lemur Microcebus murinus Jun 2003, micMur1 recip best - Tarsier Tarsier syrichta Aug 2008, tarSyr1 recip best These alignments were prepared using the methods described in the track description file, multiz13way.html, based on the phylogenetic tree, 13way.nh. The calJac3.13way.maf.gz file contains all the alignments to the Marmoset contigs, with additional annotations to indicate gap context. The upstream*.maf.gz files contain alignments in regions upstream of annotated transcription starts for Xeno RefSeq genes with annotated 5' UTRs. These files differ from the standard MAF format: they display alignments that extend from start to end of the upstream region in marmoset, whether or not alignments actually exist. In situations where no alignments exist or the alignments of one or more species are missing, dot (".") is used as a placeholder. Multiple regions of an assembly's sequence may align to a single region in marmoset; therefore, only the species name is displayed in the alignment data and no position information is recorded. The alignment score is always zero in these files. These files are updated weekly. For a description of multiple alignment format (MAF), see http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/maf.html.
