The alignable parts are shown with thick blocks that look like exons. Non-alignable parts between these are shown with thin lines like introns.

It can also tolerate gaps in both source and target assemblies simultaneously. These "double-sided" gaps can be caused by local inversions and overlapping deletions in both species. <P> The chain track displays boxes joined together by either single or double lines. The boxes represent aligning regions. Single lines indicate gaps that are largely due to a deletion in the query assembly or an insertion in the target assembly. assembly. Double lines represent more complex gaps that involve substantial sequence in both species. This may result from inversions, overlapping deletions, an abundance of local mutation, or an unsequenced gap in one species. In cases where multiple chains align over a particular region of the target genome, the chains with single-lined gaps are often due to processed pseudogenes, while chains with double-lined gaps are more often due to paralogs and unprocessed pseudogenes.</P> <P> In the "pack" and "full" display modes, the individual feature names indicate the chromosome, strand, and location (in thousands) of the match for each matching alignment.</P> <H3>Net Track</H3> <P> The net track shows the best Homo sapiens chain for every part of this target human genome. It is useful for finding syntenic regions, possibly orthologs, and for studying genome rearrangement. </P> <H2>Display Conventions and Configuration</H2> <H3>Chain Track</H3> <P>By default, the chains to chromosome-based assemblies are colored based on which chromosome they map to in the aligning organism.

In many cases gaps exist in the top-level chain. When possible, these are filled in by other chains that are displayed at level 2. The gaps in level 2 chains may be filled by level 3 chains and so forth. </P> <P> In the graphical display, the boxes represent ungapped alignments; the lines represent gaps.

The resulting alignments were converted into axt format using the lavToAxt program. The axt alignments were fed into axtChain, which organizes all alignments between a single query chromosome and a single target chromosome into a group and creates a kd-tree out of the gapless subsections (blocks) of the alignments. A dynamic program was then run over the kd-trees to find the maximally scoring chains of these blocks. <pre> # A C G T # A 90 -330 -236 -356 # C -330 100 -318 -236 # G -236 -318 100 -330 # T -356 -236 -330 90 </pre> Chains scoring below a minimum score of "5,000" were discarded; the remaining chains are displayed in this track.

The program chainNet was then used to place the chains one at a time, trimming them as necessary to fit into sections not already covered by a higher-scoring chain. During this process, a natural hierarchy emerged in which a chain that filled a gap in a higher-scoring chain was placed underneath that chain. The program netSyntenic was used to fill in information about the relationship between higher- and lower-level chains, such as whether a lower-level chain was syntenic or inverted relative to the higher-level chain. The program netClass was then used to fill in how much of the gaps and chains contained <em>N</em>s (sequencing gaps) in one or both species and how much was filled with transposons inserted before and after the two organisms diverged.</P> <H2>Credits</H2> <P> -Lastz (previously known as blastz) was developed at -<A HREF="http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/" -TARGET=_blank>Pennsylvania State University</A> by -Minmei Hou, Scott Schwartz, Zheng Zhang, and Webb Miller with advice from -Ross Hardison.</P> +LASTZ was developed at +<A HREF="http://www.bx.psu.edu/~rsharris/lastz/" TARGET=_blank>Miller Lab at Pennsylvania State University</A> by +Bob Harris. +</P> <P> Lineage-specific repeats were identified by Arian Smit and his <A HREF="https://www.repeatmasker.org/" TARGET=_blank>RepeatMasker</A> program.</P> <P> The axtChain program was developed at the University of California at Santa Cruz by Jim Kent with advice from Webb Miller and David Haussler.</P> <P> The browser display and database storage of the chains and nets were created by Robert Baertsch and Jim Kent.</P> <P> The chainNet, netSyntenic, and netClass programs were developed at the University of California Santa Cruz by Jim Kent.</P> <P> <h2>References</h2> <p> Harris, R.S. <a href="http://www.bx.psu.edu/~rsharris/lastz/" target=_blank>(2007) Improved pairwise alignment of genomic DNA</a> Ph.D. Thesis, The Pennsylvania State University </p> <p> Chiaromonte F, Yap VB, Miller W. <A HREF="http://psb.stanford.edu/psb-online/proceedings/psb02/chiaromonte.pdf" TARGET=_blank>Scoring pairwise genomic sequence alignments</A>. <em>Pac Symp Biocomput</em>. 2002:115-26.
