This directory contains compressed phastCons scores for multiple
alignments of 44 vertebrate genomes to the human genome,
plus an alternate set of scores for the primates
subset of species in the alignments, and an alternate set of
scores for the placental mammal subset of species in the alignments.
Files in this directory are:
vertebrate.mod phastCons tree model with branch lengths
for all 44 species
primates.mod phastCons tree model for the primates subset:
hg18, panTro2, gorGor1, ponAbe2, rheMac2, calJac1, tarSyr1, micMur1,
otoGar1
(human, chimp, gorilla, orangutan, rhesus, marmoset, tarsier,
mouse lemur, bushbaby)
placentalMammals.mod phastCons tree model for the placental mammal subset
hg18, panTro2, gorGor1, ponAbe2, rheMac2, calJac1, tarSyr1, micMur1,
otoGar1, tupBel1, mm9, rn4, dipOrd1, cavPor3, speTri1, oryCun1, ochPri2
(human, chimp, gorilla, orangutan, rhesus, marmoset, tarsier,
mouse lemur, bushbaby, tree shrew, mouse, rat, kangaroo rat,
guinea pig, ground squirrel, rabbit, pika)
