**What it does**

This tool converts every MAF block to a set of genomic intervals describing the position of that alignment block within a corresponding genome. Sequences from aligning species are also included in the output.

The interface for this tool contains several options: 

 * **MAF file to convert**. Choose multiple alignments from history to be converted to BED format.
 * **Choose species**. Choose additional species from the alignment to be included in the output 
 * **Exclude blocks which have a species missing**. if an alignment block does not contain any one of the species found in the alignment set 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).
 * **Remove Gap characters from sequences**. Gaps can be removed from sequences before they are output.

**Example 1**: **Include only reference genome** (hg18 in this case) and **include blocks with missing species**:

For the following alignment::

  ##maf version=1
  a score=68686.000000
  s hg18.chr20     56827368 75 +  62435964 GACAGGGTGCATCTGGGAGGG---CCTGCCGGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-

  s rheMac2.chr10 89144181 37 - 94855758 ATGTGCGGAAAATGTGATACAGAAACCTGCAGAGCAG 

the tool will create **a single** history item containing the following (**note** the name field is numbered iteratively: hg18_0_0, hg18_1_0 etc. where the first number is the block number and the second number is the iteration through the block (if a species appears twice in a block, that interval will be repeated) and sequences for each species are included in the order specified in the header: the field is left empty when no sequence is available for that species)::

**Example 2**: **Include hg18 and mm8** and **exclude blocks with missing species**:

For the following alignment::

  ##maf version=1
  a score=68686.000000
  s hg18.chr20     56827368 75 +  62435964 GACAGGGTGCATCTGGGAGGG---CCTGCCGGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-

  a score=10289.000000

  s rheMac2.chr10 89144181 37 - 94855758 ATGTGCGGAAAATGTGATACAGAAACCTGCAGAGCAG 

the tool will create **two** history items (one for hg18 and one for 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):

History item **1** (for hg18)::

   #chrom	start	end	strand	score	name	canFam2	hg18	mm8	panTro2	rheMac2
   chr20	56827368	56827443	+	68686.0	hg18_0_0	CG------GCGTCTGTAAGGGGCCACCGCCCGGCCTGTG-CTCAAAGCTACAAATGACTCAACTCCCAACCGA------C	GACAGGGTGCATCTGGGAGGG---CCTGCCGGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-	AGAAGGATCCACCT------------TGCTGGGCCTCTGCTCCAGCAAGACCCACCTCCCAACTCAAATGCCC-------	GACAGGGTGCATCTGAGAGGG---CCTGCCAGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-	GACAGGGTGCATCTGAGAGGG---CCTGCTGGGCCTTTG-TTCAAAACTAGATATGCCCCAACTCCAATTCTA-------


History item **2** (for mm8)::

   #chrom	start	end	strand	score	name	canFam2	hg18	mm8	panTro2	rheMac2
   chr2	173910832	173910893	+	68686.0	mm8_0_0	CG------GCGTCTGTAAGGGGCCACCGCCCGGCCTGTG-CTCAAAGCTACAAATGACTCAACTCCCAACCGA------C	GACAGGGTGCATCTGGGAGGG---CCTGCCGGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-	AGAAGGATCCACCT------------TGCTGGGCCTCTGCTCCAGCAAGACCCACCTCCCAACTCAAATGCCC-------	GACAGGGTGCATCTGAGAGGG---CCTGCCAGGCCTTTA-TTCAACACTAGATACGCCCCATCTCCAATTCTAATGGAC-	GACAGGGTGCATCTGAGAGGG---CCTGCTGGGCCTTTG-TTCAAAACTAGATATGCCCCAACTCCAATTCTA-------

**About formats**

**MAF format** multiple alignment format file. This format stores multiple alignments at the DNA level between entire genomes. 

 - The .maf format is line-oriented. Each multiple alignment ends with a blank line.
 - Each sequence in an alignment is on a single line.
 - Lines starting with # are considered to be comments.
 - 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.
 - Some MAF files may contain two optional line types: 

   - An "i" line containing information about what is in the aligned species DNA before and after the immediately preceding "s" line; 
   - An "e" line containing information about the size of the gap between the alignments that span the current block.
