## Description

This track depicts human-cattle synteny segments as defined on the basis of a cattle-human comparative map containing 3,200 BAC-end sequences and EST markers with a single significant hit (E-value less than 0.00001) in the human genome sequence (hg15) as defined by the TimeLogic Tera-BLASTn program (Everts-van der Wind et al., 2005). The synteny blocks were defined according to the rules described in Murphy et al. (2005).
