Finally decided to take the plunge and edit the citations for the genbank
references.

<H2>Description</H2>
<P>
The SIB Genes track shows gene predictions based on data
from RefSeq and EMBL/GenBank. This is transcript-based set of
predictions. Genes all have the support of at least one GenBank full length RNA sequence,
one RefSeq RNA, or one spliced EST. The track includes both protein-coding
and non-coding transcripts. The coding regions are predicted using
<A HREF="http://estscan.sourceforge.net" TARGET = _BLANK>ESTScan</A>.</P>
<H2>Display Conventions and Configuration</H2>
<P>
This track in general follows the display conventions for
<A HREF="../goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#GeneDisplay">gene prediction
tracks</A>. The exons for putative noncoding genes and untranslated regions
are represented by relatively thin blocks, while those for coding open
reading frames are thicker.</P>
<P>
This track contains an optional codon coloring
feature that allows users to quickly validate and compare 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>
<P>Further information on the predicted transcripts can be found on the
<A HREF="http://www.isrec.isb-sib.ch/tromer/" TARGET = _BLANK>Transcriptome Web
interface</A>.</P>
<H2>Methods</H2>
<P>
The SIB Genes are built using a multi-step pipeline:
<OL>
<LI>RefSeq and GenBank RNAs and ESTs are aligned to the genome with
<A HREF="http://sibsim4.sourceforge.net" TARGET = _BLANK>SIBsim4</A>, keeping
only the best alignments for each RNA.
<LI>Alignments are broken up at non-intronic gaps, with small isolated
fragments thrown out.
<LI>A splicing graph is created for each set of overlapping alignments. This
graph has an edge for each exon or intron, and a vertex for each splice site,
start, and end. Each RNA that contributes to an edge is kept as evidence for
that edge.
<LI>The graph is traversed to generate all unique transcripts. The traversal is
guided by the initial RNAs to avoid a combinatorial explosion in alternative
splicing.
<LI>Protein predictions are generated.
</OL>

The SIB Genes track was produced on the <A
HREF="http://www.vital-it.ch" TARGET = _BLANK>Vital-IT</A> high-performance
computing platform
using a computational pipeline developed by Christian Iseli with help from
colleagues at the <A HREF="http://www.licr.org" TARGET = _BLANK>Ludwig institute
for Cancer
Research</A> and the <A HREF="http://www.isb-sib.ch" TARGET = _BLANK>Swiss Institute
of Bioinformatics</A>. It is based on data from NCBI <A
HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/" TARGET=_blank>RefSeq</A> and <A
HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html"
TARGET=_blank>GenBank</A>/<A HREF="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/"
TARGET = _BLANK>EMBL</A>. Our
thanks to the people running these databases and to the scientists worldwide
who have made contributions to them. </P>
