29 Mammal Paper supplemental materials

All tracks can be loaded into the hg18 genome browser: 29mammals custom tracks or the individual tracks can be loaded separately in the list below:


constrained elements

Summary:  Lists of constrained elements.
For each 12-mer in the human genome a measure of constraint was scored using SiPhy (see reference below), both as a rate-based score (omega), and a measure that includes biased substitution patterns (pi). Those falling in annotated Ancestral Repeats were used as a background. An empirical cutoff score was set corresponding to 10% FDR, and all 12-mers above this score were considered significant. Overlapping significant 12-mers were clustered to yield larger elements.
There are four tracks in this set:
Constraint Elements pi lods score, data: mean: 7.214417, min: 1.711200, max: 16.237301, std: 1.364699
Constraint Elements pi branch length score, data: mean: 4.173642, min: -0.049714, max: 7.351400, std: 0.755658
Constraint Elements omega lods score, data: mean: 7.667489, min: 1.676100, max: 16.680599, std: 1.378213
Constraint Elements omega branch length score, data: mean: 4.255876, min: 0.301830, max: 7.376400, std: 0.731477

Novel Exons

Summary: A list of identified novel conserved exons.
Exons were identified using a version of CONGO (previously developed for
the Drosophila genomes, see reference below) enhanced to handle mammalian
exon prediction.  The enhancements include a semi-Markov feature to model
the short length distribution of mammalian exons, a synteny feature for
recognizing duplicated regions, and an alternative training function to improve
accuracy when performing an unbalanced prediction task
(only ~1.5% of the human genome is protein-coding)

identified regulatory motifs

Summary:  A list of instances of identified regulatory motifs.
A motif catalog was built from TRANSFAC, Jaspar, and Protein
Binding Microarrays using a method similar to that described in
the reference below, with extensions for position frequency matricies.
Motif instances were identified genome-wide using a FDR of 60%.

human and primate accelerated regions

Summary:  Lists of human accelerated regions (HARs) and primate accelerated regions (PARs).
Regions with accelerated substitution rates in either lineage were
identified by first defining candidate elements using the phastCons
program (not including the lineage of interest) and then scoring those
elements for accelerated substitution rates in the
subtree (human or primate) of interest.
