Hello,

We do not include a RefSeq mitochondrial annotation track as part of the main 
browser, but the data set is small enough to perform a BLAT on our server to 
generate your own alignments. The idea would be to obtain the fasta sequences 
from NCBI, load them into the web BLAT tool, and run the program.

Please note that the defaults for the web BLAT tool are different than those we 
use when generating the RefSeq track (in particular, the option "-fine" is used 
for track creation).

If you want to run these on your own, download BLAT and set up a server and 
adjust the options as desired. The resulting PSL file can be loaded back as a 
custom track to view in the browser (refSeqAli is in PSL format).

refFlat in in genePred format - which would require more additional processing 
to incorporate the CDS information
refGene is also in genePred format - but with some extra details added in

Hopefully one of these options will work for your project,
Jennifer
