Hi Nicholas, Our gorilla assembly is fairly low coverage (it is missing a lot of sequence). So, it could be that the gorilla assembly is missing the sequence that would correspond to this region of human, or it could be that there is actually no homology between the human and gorilla at this region. The gorilla assembly used for this alignment can be download from here if you want to explore it further: ftp://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/gbdb/gorGor1/
You can read more about the mutliz alignments in the Conservation track description: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&c=chr6_qbl_hap6&g=cons46way#TRACK_HTML Here are some additional resources that might be helpful to you: http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Chains_Nets http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/index.php/Blastz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_sequence_alignment Katrina Learned UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group Nicholas Price wrote, On 01/26/11 07:38: > Hi > > If I look at this region chr6_qbl_hap6:54,942-55,054, in human using the > genome browser.
