Hi Nicolas,

The multiple alignment track is built from the chain/net pairwise 
alignments. Pairwise alignments between assemblies that are 2X (i.e. are 
of lower quality) will have reciprocal-best filtering (more information 
in the conservation description page). These pairwise alignments are 
available in the Primate Chain/Net track. Syntenic filtering is done 
before assembling the pairwise alignments into the multiple alignment 
track, so the pairwise chains may still have alignments to the 
pseudogenes that you're looking for.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact the mail 
list again if you require further assistance.

Best,
Mary
