[Genome] Reg. Potential scores

[Archana Thakkapallayil]

Hello Pilar,

The default viewing range for this track is from 0.0 to 0.1 and actual 
range is from 0 - 1.

You can read more about this in the description page here:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?org=human&g=regPotential7X

The default viewing range for this track is from 0.0 to 0.1. Score 
values below the 0.0 default lower limit indicate resemblance to 
alignment patterns typical of neutral DNA, while score values above the 
0.1 default upper limit indicate very marked resemblance to alignment 
patterns typical of regulatory elements in the training set. The range 
of RP scores from 0.0 to 0.1 contains the prediction threshold suggested 
by calibration studies, and provides an effective visualization of the 
score for most genomic loci. However, the user can specify different 
viewing ranges if desired

Note: Absence of a score value at a given location indicates lack of 
sufficient alignment -- scores are computed for all regions of the 
reference genome in which no region of more than 100 bases lacks 
alignment in at least three non-human species.

I hope that this helps. If you have further questions please don't 
hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Archana

> In relation to Regulation Potential score,  is there a defined upper limit or it varies from gene to gene? The upper limit shown  in the graphic for the 7X Reg Pot is 0.1  but in the table list we see there are values greater that 0.1 and what does that mean?
