Hello Saatvik,

The differences you are seeing are not caused by out date sequences, but 
appear to be differences between the blat CGI vs command line blat. It 
also might be due to the browser alignments being built with an older 
version of blat.

The code you are looking for is in:
kent/src/hg/makeDb/genbank

and it is documented here:
kent/src/hg/makeDb/genbank/doc

Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you 
have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the 
mailing list at [email protected].
