Hi,
I am working on comparative genomics, and I want to find out the syntenic region of two species. I find there are two kinds of chain files available on UCSC. Is there anyone who knows the difference, and which file should I use to get the syntenic regions?
For instance, the pairwise alignment results between human and chimp are as follows:
