27 November 2013 - 100 Species Conservation Track now available on hg19

After 15.4 years of CPU run-time in 9,905,594 individual 'jobs' and 99 cluster runs for lastz pair-wise alignment...we are excited to announce the release of a 100 species alignment on the hg19/GRCh37 human Genome Browser.

This new Conservation track shows multiple alignments of 100 species and measurements of evolutionary conservation using two methods (phastCons and phyloP) from the PHAST package. - This adds 40 more species to the existing 60way on the mm10 mouse browser. For more information - about the 100 species Conservation track, see its description page. + This adds 40 more species to the existing 60-way on the mm10 mouse browser.
