## Description

This track shows blat alignments of C. savignyi to the $Organism genome. The C. savignyi genome was provided by the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard.

The strand information (+/-) for this track is in two parts. The first + or - indicates the orientation of the query sequence whose translated protein produced the match. The second + or - indicates the orientation of the matching translated genomic sequence. Because the two orientations of a DNA sequence give different predicted protein sequences, there are four combinations. ++ is not the same as --; nor is +- the same as -+.

## Display Conventions and Configuration

This track follows the display conventions for PSL alignment tracks.

## Methods

The alignments were made with blat in translated protein mode, requiring two nearby 4-mer matches to trigger a detailed alignment. The $Organism genome was masked with RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder before running blat.

## Credits

Thanks to the Broad Institute for providing the C. savignyi sequence.
