Cattle vs Sheep Synteny results

The syntenic regions between Cattle (Bos taurus, ARS-UCD2.0) and Sheep (Ovis aries, ARS-UI_Ramb_v3.0) were extracted from their pairwise alignment in Ensembl release 115. We look for stretches where the alignment blocks are in synteny. The search is run in two phases. In the first one, syntenic alignments that are closer than 200 kbp are grouped. In the second phase, the groups that are in synteny are linked provided that no more than 2 non-syntenic groups are found between them and they are less than 3Mbp apart.
