The RefSeq mRNAs gene track for the 17 Apr 2019 Varanus komodoensis/GCF_004798865.1_ASM479886v1 genome assembly displays translated blat alignments of vertebrate and invertebrate mRNA in GenBank.
Total genome size: 1,507,945,839
Gene count: 13,543
Bases in genes: 537,892,480
Percent genome coverage: % 35.671
The mRNAs were aligned against the Varanus komodoensis/GCF_004798865.1_ASM479886v1 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 RefSeqThe resulting PSL outputs are filtered:
pslCDnaFilter -minId=0.35 -minCover=0.25 -globalNearBest=0.0100 -minQSize=20
-ignoreIntrons -repsAsMatch -ignoreNs -bestOverlap
all.results.psl GCF_004798865.1_ASM479886v1.xenoRefGene.psl
The filtered GCF_004798865.1_ASM479886v1.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.
