 <h2>Description</h2>
 <p>
 This track represents the gene models for the T2T CHM13 assembly generated using the CAT
 (Comparative Annotation Toolkit) software with genes that CAT could not be mapped as well as novel
 paralogs, filled in from the LiftOff mappings.
 The reference annotations are from GENCODE V35.
 </p>
 
 <h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
 <p>
   This track follows the display conventions for
   <a href="https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#GeneDisplay">gene
     prediction tracks</a>. The exons for putative non-coding genes and
   untranslated regions are represented by relatively thin blocks, while those
   for coding open reading frames are thicker. Gene names are displayed in 'pack'
   or 'full' mode. More information about each gene can be found by clicking on
   the specific gene/transcript model.
 </p>
 <p>
 The following color key is used:
 </p>
 <ul>
   <li><span bgcolor="rgb(255,51,255)">Blue</span>: protein coding</li>
   <li><span bgcolor="rgb(85,212,76)">Green</span>: non-coding</li>
   <!-- <li><span>Purple</span>: novel predictions from PacBio Iso-Seq and LiftOff</li>  -->
   <li><span bgcolor="rgb(76,85,212">Pink</span>: pseudogenes
 </ul>
 
 <h2>Methods</h2>
 <p>
   This tracks combines gene annotations generated by two methods.  First the
 Comparative Annotation Toolkit (CAT) was used to 
 Liftoff was then used as a second annotation method to map genes missed by CAT and
 additional gene paralogs.
 </p>
   
 <h4>Comparative Annotation Toolkit</h4>
 <p>
 Genome annotation for T2T CHM13
 assembly was performed using Comparative Annotation Toolkit (CAT). CAT
 leverages whole-genome alignments generated by Cactus to transfer annotations
 from one source genome to one or more target genomes. For this annotation set,
 CAT lifted over the reference GENCODE v35 annotations onto the T2T genome. CAT
 also incorporated Iso-Seq data, first assembled into transcripts with
 StringTie2, to make the final consensus annotation set.</p>
 
 <h4>Liftoff</h4>
 <p>
  Liftoff uses Minimap2 to align reference gene DNA
 sequences to the target genome and selects the alignment(s) concordant with
 the intron/exon structure with the highest sequence identity. A minimum
 sequence identity of 95% was required to annotate gene paralogs. After
 running Liftoff, we identified genes that did not overlap any CAT annotations
 using bedtools intersect. These were combined with the CAT annotation to
 create the final annotation.

+<h2>Data Access</h2>
+<p>
+The raw data can be explored interactively with the
+<a href="../cgi-bin/hgTables" target="_blank">Table Browser</a> or the
+<a href="../cgi-bin/hgIntegrator" target="_blank">Data Integrator</a>. The data can also be
+accessed from scripts through our <a href="https://api.genome.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">REST
+API</a>, where the track name is <tt>catLiftOffGenesV1</tt>.</p>
+<p>
+For automated analysis, the data may be downloaded from our
+<a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/catLiftOffGenesV1/" target="_blank">download
+server</a> as a bigGenePred file. The file for this track is called
+<tt>catLiftOffGenesV1.bb</tt>. Individual regions or the whole genome annotation can be obtained
+using our tool <tt>bigBedToBed</tt>, which can be compiled from the source code or downloaded as a
+precompiled binary for your system. Instructions for downloading source code and binaries can be
+found <a href="https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#utilities_downloads"
+target="_blank">here</a>. The tool can also be used to obtain only features within a given range,
+for example:</p>
+<tt>bigBedToBed https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/$db/catLiftOffGenesV1/catLiftOffGenesV1.bb -chrom=chr6 -start=0 -end=1000000 stdout</tt>
