Track statistics summary

Total genome size: 579,042,118
Gene count: 5,905
Bases in genes: 74,176,286
Percent genome coverage: % 12.810

Methods

The mRNAs were aligned against the Culex quinquefasciatus/GCA_000209185.1_CulPip1.0 genome using translated blat. When a single mRNA aligned in multiple places, the alignment having the highest base identity was found. Only those alignments having a base identity level within 1% of the best and at least 25% base identity with the genomic sequence were kept.

Specifically, the translated blat command is:

blat -noHead -q=rnax -t=dnax -mask=lower target.fa query.fa target.query.psl

where target.fa is one of the chromosome sequence of the genome assembly,
and the query.fa is the mRNAs from RefSeq
The resulting PSL outputs are filtered:
pslCDnaFilter -minId=0.35 -minCover=0.25  -globalNearBest=0.0100 -minQSize=20 
  -ignoreIntrons -repsAsMatch -ignoreNs -bestOverlap 
    all.results.psl GCA_000209185.1_CulPip1.0.xenoRefGene.psl
The filtered GCA_000209185.1_CulPip1.0.xenoRefGene.psl is converted to genePred data to display for this track.

The mRNA track was produced at UCSC from mRNA sequence data submitted to the international public sequence databases by scientists worldwide.
