.. class:: warningmark

This currently works only for build hg18.

**Dataset formats**

The input can be any interval_ format dataset.  The output is also in interval format.
(`Dataset missing?`_)

.. _interval: ./static/formatHelp.html#interval
.. _Dataset missing?: ./static/formatHelp.html

**What it does**

This tool adds a column that measures interspecies conservation at each SNP 
position, using conservation scores for primates pre-computed by the 
phyloP program.  PhyloP performs an exact P-value computation under a 
continuous Markov substitution model. 

The chromosome and start position
are used to look up the scores, so if a larger interval is in the input,
only the score for the first nucleotide is returned.

**Example**

- input file, with SNPs::

    chr22  16440426  14440427  C/T
    chr22  15494851  14494852  A/G
    chr22  14494911  14494912  A/T
    chr22  14550435  14550436  A/G
    chr22  14611956  14611957  G/T
    chr22  14612076  14612077  A/G
    chr22  14668537  14668538  C
    chr22  14668703  14668704  A/T
    chr22  14668775  14668776  G
    chr22  14680074  14680075  A/T
    etc.

- output file, showing conservation scores for primates::

    chr22  16440426  14440427  C/T  0.509
    chr22  15494851  14494852  A/G  0.427
    chr22  14494911  14494912  A/T  NA
    chr22  14550435  14550436  A/G  NA
    chr22  14611956  14611957  G/T  -2.142
    chr22  14612076  14612077  A/G  0.369
    chr22  14668537  14668538  C    0.419
    chr22  14668703  14668704  A/T  -1.462
    chr22  14668775  14668776  G    0.470
    chr22  14680074  14680075  A/T  0.303
    etc.

  "NA" means that the phyloP score was not available.
