Human vs Marmoset LastZ alignments

Human (Homo sapiens, GRCh37) and Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, C_jacchus3.2.1) were aligned using the LastZ alignment algorithm (LastZ) in Ensembl release 62. Human was used as the reference species. After running LastZ , the raw LastZ alignment blocks are chained according to their location in both genomes. During the final netting process, the best sub-chain is chosen in each region on the reference species.
