Uppsala University)
Files included in this directory:
- md5sum.txt: md5sum checksums for the files in this directory
- mm10.ficAlb1.all.chain.gz: chained lastz alignments. The chain format is
described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/chain.html .
- mm10.ficAlb1.net.gz: "net" file that describes rearrangements between
the species and the best Collared flycatcher match to any part of the
Mouse genome. The net format is described in

- axtNet/*.mm10.ficAlb1.net.axt.gz: chained and netted alignments,
i.e. the best chains in the Mouse genome, with gaps in the best
chains filled in by next-best chains where possible. The axt format is
described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/axt.html .
- mafSynNet/*.maf.gz - filtered net files for syntenic alignments
only, in MAF format, see also, description of MAF format:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format5
- reciprocalBest/ directory, contains reciprocal-best netted chains
for mm10-ficAlb1
The mm10 and ficAlb1 assemblies were aligned by the lastz alignment
program, which is available from Webb Miller's lab at Penn State
University (http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab/). Any mm10 sequences larger
than 20,010,000 bases were split into chunks of 20,010,000 bases overlapping
by 10,000 bases for alignment. A similar process was followed for ficAlb1,
with chunks of 10,000,000 overlapping by 0. Following alignment, the
coordinates of the chunk alignments were corrected by the
blastz-normalizeLav script written by Scott Schwartz of Penn State.
The lastz scoring matrix (Q parameter) used was:
A C G T
A 91 -90 -25 -100
C -90 100 -100 -25
G -25 -100 100 -90
T -100 -25 -90 91
with a gap open penalty of O=400 and a gap extension penalty of E=30.
The minimum score for an alignment to be kept was K=2200 for the first pass
and L=6000 for the second pass, which restricted the search space to the
regions between two alignments found in the first pass. The minimum
score for alignments to be interpolated between was H=2000. Other blastz
parameters specifically set for this species pair:
Y=3400
The .lav format lastz output was translated to the .psl format with
lavToPsl, then chained by the axtChain program.
Chain minimum score: 5000, and linearGap matrix of (loose):

bothGap 625 660 700 750 900 1400 4000 8000 16000 32000 57000
Chained alignments were processed into nets by the chainNet, netSyntenic,
and netClass programs.
Best-chain alignments in axt format were extracted by the netToAxt program.
All programs run after lastz were written by Jim Kent at UCSC.

If you plan to download a large file or multiple files from this directory,
we recommend you use ftp rather than downloading the files via our website.
To do so, ftp to hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu, then go to the directory
goldenPath/mm10/vsFicAlb1/. To download multiple files, use the "mget"
command:
mget <filename1> <filename2> ...
- or -
mget -a (to download all files in the current directory)
