[Genome] mm6 conservation

[Ann Zweig]

Hello Sisterdot,

	The files in the directory that you are looking at contains *compressed* 
phastCons scores for multiple alignments of 9 vertebrate genomes to the mouse 
genome.  For a description of the phastCons file format, see:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/phastCons.html

	Because the scores are compressed, they will not exactly match the display; 
some precision has been lost.  In the database table 'phastCons10Scores' these 
values are compressed to single bytes in a compression scheme and expanded upon 
display in the browser.


Regards,
