29 **What it does**
30
31 This tool converts every MAF block to an interval line (in BED format; scroll down for description of MAF and BED formats) describing position of that alignment block within a corresponding genome.
32
33 The interface for this tool contains two pages (steps):
34
35 * **Step 1 of 2**. Choose multiple alignments from history to be converted to BED format.
36 * **Step 2 of 2**. Choose species from the alignment to be included in the output and specify how to deal with alignment blocks that lack one or more species:
37
38 * **Choose species** - the tool reads the alignment provided during Step 1 and generates a list of species contained within that alignment. Using checkboxes you can specify taxa to be included in the output (only reference genome, shown in **bold**, is selected by default). If you select more than one species, then more than one history item will be created.
39 * **Choose to include/exclude blocks with missing species** - if an alignment block does not contain any one of the species you selected within **Choose species** menu and this option is set to **exclude blocks with missing species**, then coordinates of such a block **will not** be included in the output (see **Example 2** below).

61 the tool will create **a single** history item containing the following (**note** that field 4 is added to the output and is numbered iteratively: hg18_0, hg18_1 etc.)::

85 the tool will create **two** history items (one for hg18 and one fopr mm8) containing the following (**note** that both history items contain only one line describing the first alignment block. The second MAF block is not included in the output because it does not contain mm8):
86
87 History item **1** (for hg18)::
88
89 chr20 56827368 56827443 hg18_0 0 +

99 **About formats**
100
101 **MAF format** multiple alignment format file. This format stores multiple alignments at the DNA level between entire genomes.
102
103 - The .maf format is line-oriented. Each multiple alignment ends with a blank line.
104 - Each sequence in an alignment is on a single line.
105 - Lines starting with # are considered to be comments.
106 - Each multiple alignment is in a separate paragraph that begins with an "a" line and contains an "s" line for each sequence in the multiple alignment.
107 - Some MAF files may contain two optional line types:
108
109 - An "i" line containing information about what is in the aligned species DNA before and after the immediately preceding "s" line;
110 - An "e" line containing information about the size of the gap between the alignments that span the current block.
111
112 **BED format** Browser Extensible Data format was designed at UCSC for displaying data tracks in the Genome Browser. It has three required fields and a number of additional optional ones:
113
114 The first three BED fields (required) are::
115
116 1. chrom - The name of the chromosome (e.g. chr1, chrY_random).
117 2. chromStart - The starting position in the chromosome. (The first base in a chromosome is numbered 0.)
118 3. chromEnd - The ending position in the chromosome, plus 1 (i.e., a half-open interval).
119
120 Additional (optional) fields are::
121
122 4. name - The name of the BED line.
123 5. score - A score between 0 and 1000.
124 6. strand - Defines the strand - either '+' or '-'.
