A set of easy regions for ancient DNA variant filtering was generated by selecting 35-mers that could not be mapped elsewhere within one mismatch or gap. Read alignments from multiple samples were inspected to exclude regions with excessively high or low coverage or those enriched with low mapping quality alignments. The easy regions generated through this k-mer uniqueness procedure are referred to as pm151:lenient, where "pm" stands for panmask. In addition, low complexity regions identified by SDUST were removed.
The pm151 regions are used to filter spurious variant calls in centromeres, long repeats, and other genomic regions where short-read mapping is often problematic. They cover 88.2% of hg38, 92.2% of coding regions, and 96.3% of ClinVar pathogenic variants. The track can be used to filter variant calls for clinical or research human samples. Like the HighRepro track in this container (see above), it shows regions that are easy to sequence, not those that are problematic. The data was derived from the HPRC assemblies, and this track presents the 151b-easy panmask set.
+Each track contains a set of regions of varying length with no special configuration options. The UCSC Unusual Regions track has a mouse-over description, all other tracks have at most a name field, which can be shown in pack mode. The tracks are usually kept in dense mode.
The Hide empty subtracks control hides subtracks with no data in the browser window. Changing the browser window by zooming or scrolling may result in the display of a different selection of tracks.
