Hello Alex, The phastCons 17way was most likely done using a tree with more species (as you point out). We believe that this does not significantly affect the phastcons output. At this point in time, we do not have the resources to go back and redo this analysis using the smaller 17 species tree. We apologize for the inconvenience.
