This directory contains alignments of the following assemblies: - target/reference: Chicken (galGal6, Mar. 2018 (GRCg6a/galGal6), Genome Reference Consortium) - query: chicken (GCF_016699485.2_bGalGal1.mat.broiler.GRCg7b, 2021-01-19, Vertebrate Genomes Project) Files included in this directory: - md5sum.txt: md5sum checksums for the files in this directory - galGal6.GCF_016699485.2.all.chain.gz: chained lastz alignments. The chain format is described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/chain.html . - galGal6.GCF_016699485.2.net.gz: "net" file that describes rearrangements between the species and the best chicken match to any part of the Chicken genome. The net format is described in http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/net.html . - galGal6.GCF_016699485.2.net.axt.gz: chained and netted alignments, i.e. the best chains in the Chicken 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 . - galGal6.GCF_016699485.2.synNet.maf.gz - filtered net file for syntenic alignments only, in MAF format, see also, description of MAF format: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format5 - galGal6.GCF_016699485.2.syn.net.gz - filtered net file for syntenic alignments only - reciprocalBest/ directory, contains reciprocal-best netted chains for galGal6-GCF_016699485.2 The galGal6 and GCF_016699485.2_bGalGal1.mat.broiler.GRCg7b 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 galGal6 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 GCF_016699485.2, with chunks of 20,000,000 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 the default matrix: A C G T A 91 -114 -31 -123 C -114 100 -125 -31 G -31 -125 100 -114 T -123 -31 -114 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=3000 for the first pass and L=3000 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. 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): tablesize 11 smallSize 111 position 1 2 3 11 111 2111 12111 32111 72111 152111 252111 qGap 325 360 400 450 600 1100 3600 7600 15600 31600 56600 tGap 325 360 400 450 600 1100 3600 7600 15600 31600 56600 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.
