Description

This track displays alignments of the mouse genome vs. the human genome.

Methods

The alignments were done with BLAT in translated protein mode using the parameters -q=dnax -t=dnax and otherwise the default settings. Both genomes were masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder before running BLAT. Places where more than 250 alignments happened over the same place were filtered out. Beware of alignments of greater than 97% identity: these may reflect mouse contamination in the human genome or human contamination in the mouse genome.

Data Release Policy

This data is made available before scientific publication with the following understanding:

  1. The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged in databases.
  2. Users are free to use the data in scientific papers analyzing particular genes and regions if the providers of this data (the Mouse Sequencing Consortium) are properly acknowledged.
  3. The Centers producing the data reserve the right to publish the initial large-scale analyses of the dataset-including large-scale identification of regions of evolutionary conservation and large-scale genomic assembly. Large-scale refers to regions with size on the order of a chromosome (that is, 30 Mb or more).
  4. Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
