Hello Janet, For information about this track beyond what is on the track description page, you will have to contact the track contributors. From the credits section of the track description page:
The CRG Alignability track was created by Thomas Derrien and Paolo Ribeca ([email protected]) in Roderic Guigo's lab: http://pasteur.crg.es/portal/page/portal/Internet/02_Research/01_Programmes/01_Bioinformatics_Genomics at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. Thomas Derrien was supported by funds from NHGRI for the ENCODE project, while Paolo Ribeca was funded by a Consolider grant CDS2007-00050 from the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.
