Hi Nicholas,

For running phastCons on the multiple alignments, we actually used two sets of 
branch lengths: one for sequences expected to be conserved, and one for 
sequences not expected to be conserved.  See the last line ("TREE: ((...") in 
these files:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm3/phastCons15way/ave.cons.mod
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/dm3/phastCons15way/ave.noncons.mod

The branch lengths are shorter in ave.cons.mod -- depending on your purpose, if 
you have to choose one then you'll probably want noncons.mod.

Hope that helps, and please email us at [email protected] if you have more 
questions,

Angie
