Hi Mick
This is correct. The netting step identifies the "best-in-genome"
alignment. Usually, either human or mouse are the genome of reference
for this. In other words, the same pig locus can be aligned to two
regions in human but a given locus (bp actually) can only be aligned to
one region in pig.
I hope this helps
