### Description

This track shows Evolutionary Conserved Regions computed by the Exofish program at Genoscope. Each singleton block corresponds to an "ecore"; two blocks connected by a thin line correspond to an "ecotig", a set of colinear ecores in a syntenic region.

### Methods

Genome-wide sequence comparisons were done at the protein-coding level between the genome sequences of the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster and the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae to detect evolutionarily conserved regions (ECORES). See Assessing the Drosophila melanogaster and Anopheles gambiae genome annotations using genome-wide sequence comparisons. Jaillon et al. Genome Res. 2003 Jul;13(7):1595-9. The sequence versions used in the comparison were Ensembl Drosophila v.16.3a.1 (Jan. 2003, the same as BDGP Release 3.1 used by the UCSC Genome Browser) and Ensembl Anopheles v.16.2.1 .
