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. Some helpful links:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#human

We hope this explains how we generated our data, how to access our 
results, and helps to point you to the tools available to generate 
similar data yourself,
