Description

Genomic scaffolds from 5 Drosophila species (D. yakuba, D. erecta, D. mojavensis, D. virilis, and D. grimshawi) are aligned against the D. melanogaster genome assembly (dm3) with LAST using default parameters. The alignments are then processed using the UCSC whole genome alignment protocol (i.e. chaining, netting, and maffing).
