Hello Giorgio, We use a software package called PHAST when we generate PhastCons annotation. You can find this result data in our browser by going into a species' "Comparative Genomics" track group and adjusting the viewing options. A description of how the data is generated can be obtained by clicking on each individual track's name.
For example, in the latest human release, Mar. 2006, Comparative Genomics, track = Conservation. A track description page with all of the computational details includes a link to external software sources, including: http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/ There are several variations of conservation data contained in the above human assembly (as well as other species' assemblies). See each track description for instructions concerning how the data were generated. The results can be seen within the browser assemblies or downloaded as data files via ftp.
