MAF (Multiple Alignment Format)The Multiple Alignment Format stores a series of multiple alignments. See the UCSC web site for more details. The extension must be ".maf". NOTE: .maf files must be indexed, and in plain text (not gzipped) with a .maf extension. IGV will create an index for the file on first use, which will result in a delay in loading. Do not close IGV while indexing is in progress. |
