[Genome] conservation alignment

[Rachel Harte]

Hello Minou Bina,

Which conservation track are you looking at? If you go to the human hg17
(May 2004) or hg18 (Mar 2006) Genome Browsers, the Conservation track
shows a multiple alignments of the human genome and 16 other vertebrates'
genomes. By default, not all the species are shown. If you click on the
blue/gray button at the side of the Conservation track or on the
Conservation link above the track control below the Browser image, you
will see a configuration page. In the Pairwise alignments section, you
can add Chimp and Rhesus macaque alignments to those that you see in the
Browser.

If you would like to download the actual alignments, you can get these
from the Downloads server:
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/

If you then click on the link to Human and look for the link to Multiple
alignments then you will find the downloads for the multiple alignments by
chromsome.

I hope that this helps you. Please let me know if I have not answered your
question correctly or if you have further questions.

Rachel
