Description

This track displays alignments of 16 million mouse whole genome shotgun reads (3x coverage) vs. the draft human genome.

Method

The alignments were done with BLAT in translated protein mode requiring 7 out of 8 amino acids in a row to match to trigger a detailed alignment. The human genome was masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder before running BLAT. Places where more than 400 reads aligned were filtered out. Beware of alignments of greater than 97% identity. These may reflect mouse contamination of the human draft, or human contamination of the mouse shotgun data.
