Description
High-depth sequence reads from the Celera project were used to
detect paralogy in the human genome reference sequence.
This track shows confirmed segmental duplications, defined as having
similarity to sequences in the Segmental Duplication Database (SDD) of
greater than 90% over more than 250 bp of repeatmasked sequence.
For a description of the whole-genome shotgun sequence detection (WSSD)
"fuguization" method, see Bailey, J.A. et al. (2001) in
the References section below.

efforts to map human paralogy at the
