Description

The RefSeq mRNAs gene track for the 18 Jan 2023 Ammospiza caudacuta/GCF_027887145.1_bAmmCau1.pri genome assembly displays translated blat alignments of vertebrate and invertebrate mRNA in GenBank.

Track statistics summary

Total genome size: 1,241,209,685
Gene count: 12,832
Bases in genes: 411,349,536
Percent genome coverage: % 33.141

Methods

The mRNAs were aligned against the Ammospiza caudacuta/GCF_027887145.1_bAmmCau1.pri genome using translated blat. When a single mRNA aligned in multiple places, the alignment having the highest base identity was found. Only those alignments having a base identity level within 1% of the best and at least 25% base identity with the genomic sequence were kept.

Specifically, the translated blat command is:

blat -noHead -q=rnax -t=dnax -mask=lower target.fa query.fa target.query.psl

where target.fa is one of the chromosome sequence of the genome assembly,
and the query.fa is the mRNAs from RefSeq
The resulting PSL outputs are filtered:
pslCDnaFilter -minId=0.35 -minCover=0.25  -globalNearBest=0.0100 -minQSize=20 
  -ignoreIntrons -repsAsMatch -ignoreNs -bestOverlap 
    all.results.psl GCF_027887145.1_bAmmCau1.pri.xenoRefGene.psl
The filtered GCF_027887145.1_bAmmCau1.pri.xenoRefGene.psl is converted to genePred data to display for this track.

Credits

The mRNA track was produced at UCSC from mRNA sequence data submitted to the international public sequence databases by scientists worldwide.
