This directory contains human/chimpanzee "reciprocal best" alignments 
made using the Jul. 2003 human assembly (NCBI Build 34, UCSC hg16)
and the 13 Nov. 2003 Arachne 4x draft chimp assembly from
the Broad Institute, MIT/Harvard, with sequence provided by
the Broad Institute and Washington University, St. Louis.
The Chimpanzee Genome Sequencing project was sponsored by
NHGRI.

The alignments are in 'axt' format.   Each alignment
contains three lines and is separated from the next
alignment by a space:   

    Line 1 - summarizes the alignment.   
    Line 2 - contains the human sequence with inserts.  
    Line 3 - contains the chimp sequence with inserts.  

The summary line contains 9 blank separated fields with the 
following meanings:

1 - Alignment number. The first alignment in a file
    is numbered 0, the next 1, and so forth.
2 - Human chromosome.
3 - Start in human chromosome. The first base is
    numbered 1.
4 - End in human chromosome. The end base is included.
5 - Chimp scaffold.
6 - Start in chimp scaffold.
7 - End in chimp scaffold.
8 - Chimp strand. If this is '-', the chimp start/end fields are 
    relative to the reverse-complemented chimp scaffold.
9 - Blastz score.   The scoring matrix blastz uses is:

           A    C    G    T
      A   91 -114  -31 -123
      C -114  100 -125  -31
      G  -31 -125  100 -114
      T -123  -31 -114   91

    with a gap open penalty of 400 and a gap extension 
    penalty of 30.  The minimum score for an alignment
    to be kept was 3000 for the first pass,  and then
    2200 for the second pass, which just restricts
    the search space to the regions between two alignments
    found in the first pass.

The alignments were done with blastz, which is available
from Webb Miller's group at Pennsylvania State University (PSU).  
Each chromosome was divided into 10010000 base chunks with 10000 
bases of overlap. The .lav format blastz output, which does not 
include the sequence, was converted to .axt with PSU's lavToAxt.

The axtBest subset covers 40% of the human genome.
