 high accuracy without sophisticated filtering.</p>
 <p>
 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 &quot;pm&quot; stands for panmask. In addition, low
 complexity regions identified by SDUST were removed.</p>
 <p>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.</p>

 <h3>Panmask Difficult 151b Regions</h3>
 <p>
 The <b>Panmask Difficult 151b Regions</b> subtrack is the complement of the Panmask Easy 151b Regions
 track above: it marks the bases of the genome that Panmask did not classify as easy, so a
 variant caller can expect lower accuracy there. Unlike Panmask Easy, this track directly
 represents difficult regions, matching the rest of this container track, so it is the version
 used in the Problematic Regions Recommended Track Set. It was built at UCSC, not downloaded, by
 inverting the Panmask Easy 151b regions with the <tt>featureBits</tt> tool and removing assembly
 gaps, restricted to the 24 chromosomes that Panmask itself covers.</p>

 <h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
 
 <p>
 Each track contains a set of regions of varying length with no special configuration options. 
 The <em>UCSC Unusual Regions</em> 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 <em>Hide empty subtracks</em> 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.
