Question regarding the single-base conservation score

[Minggui Chen]

Hello,

I am Minggui Chen, a postdoc at MIT. I really like UCSC genome browser. Recently I want to extract the conservation score for the individual bases. I search and ask around our institute, but there is no answer for that. I am wondering whether you can send me the guideline on how to extract single-base conservation score. Thanks very much.

Best

Hello Minggui Chen,

Thank you for your question. You can retrieve the conservation score for individual bases by creating a custom track of your regions, then intersecting it with the Conservation track using the Table Browser. Please see this previously answered question for more details and instructions:
