Medicago truncatula vs Populus trichocarpa LastZ results

Medicago truncatula (Medicago truncatula, MedtrA17_4.0) and Populus trichocarpa (Populus trichocarpa, Pop_tri_v4) were aligned using the LastZ alignment algorithm (LastZ) in Ensembl Plants release 110. Medicago truncatula was used as the reference species. After running LastZ, the raw LastZ alignment blocks were chained according to their location in both genomes. During the final netting process, the best sub-chain was chosen in each region on the reference species.
