Description

This track shows alignments between consensus sequences from the Repeat Browser. This allows one to see how sequences are related to one another and identify deletions or insertions between classes of elements.

Display Conventions and Configuration

The track is stored as a bigPsl. See above for coloring options. Solid bars are region of alignment, breaks are insertions or deletions.

Methods

The collection of consensus sequences was aligned against itself with blat.
