The models live in cactus241way/phyloP241way, and there are three of them rather than one: a general model and separate chrX and chrY models. Link the directory and say so.

The all-species tree model for this track was generated using the phyloFit program from the PHAST package (REV model, EM algorithm, medium precision) using multiple alignments of 4-fold degenerate sites extracted from the 241-way alignment (msa_view). The 4d sites were derived from the RefSeq (Reviewed+Coding) gene set, filtered to select single-coverage long transcripts.

This same tree model was used in the phyloP calculations; however, the -background frequencies were modified to maintain reversibility. -The resulting tree model: -all species. +background frequencies were modified to maintain reversibility. The resulting +models are in the +phyloP241way download directory as .mod files: a general +model, plus separate models for chrX and chrY.

PhyloP Conservation

The phyloP program supports several different methods for computing p-values of conservation or acceleration, for individual nucleotides or larger elements ( http://compgen.cshl.edu/phast/). Here it was used to produce separate scores at each base (--wig-scores option), considering all branches of the phylogeny rather than a particular subtree or lineage (i.e., the --subtree option was not used). The scores were computed by performing a likelihood ratio test at each alignment column (--method LRT), and scores for both conservation and acceleration were produced (--mode CONACC).
