What is the difference between the US Treasury 10 year bond and the US Treasury 10 year note?

I am looking for a chart that moves together with 30 years mortgage fixed rates.
I read that it moves together with the US Treasury 10 year bond: do you know where I can find a chart of the US Treasury 10 year bond?

There isn't much of a practical difference between the 10 year note and bond. Notes can be issued with a maturity between 2 and 10 years, and a bond from 10 to 30 years. If you are looking for something that moves with the mortgage rates, you will want to look at the 10 year note rather than the bond because that is the dominate security quoted when talking about long-term rate movements.

Here is a chart from Yahoo Finance of the 10 year note rate: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5ETNX&t=5y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=
