 <H2>Description</H2>
 <P>
 This track shows alignments of $organism mRNAs from the
 <A HREF="http://mgc.nci.nih.gov/" TARGET=_blank>Mammalian Gene Collection</A> 
-(MGC) having full-length open reading frames (ORFs) to the genome. </P>
+(MGC) having full-length open reading frames (ORFs) to the genome.
+The goal of the Mammalian Gene Collection is to provide researchers with
+unrestricted access to sequence-validated full-length protein-coding cDNA
+clones for human, mouse, and rat genes.</P>
 
 <H2>Display Conventions and Configuration</H2>
 <P>
 The track follows the display conventions for 
 <A HREF="../goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#GeneDisplay">gene prediction 
 tracks</A>.  </P>
 <P>
 An optional codon coloring feature is available for quick
 validation and comparison of gene predictions.
 To display codon colors, select the <em>genomic codons</em> option from the
 <em>Color track by codons</em> pull-down menu. Click 
 <A HREF="../goldenPath/help/hgCodonColoring.html">here</A> for more 
 information about this feature. </P>
 
 <H2>Methods</H2>
 <P>
 GenBank $organism MGC mRNAs identified as having full-length ORFs 
 were aligned against the genome using blat. When a single mRNA 
 aligned in multiple places, the alignment having the highest base identity was
 found.  Only alignments having a base identity level within 1% of
 the best and at least 95% base identity with the genomic sequence 
 were kept.</P>
 
 <H2>Credits</H2>
 <P>
 The $organism MGC full-length mRNA track was produced at UCSC from 
 mRNA sequence data submitted to 
 <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html" 
 TARGET=_blank>GenBank</A> by the 
 <A HREF="http://mgc.nci.nih.gov/" TARGET=_blank>Mammalian Gene Collection</A> project.</P>
