[Genome] Batch Mapping hg17 positions to hg18

[Ann Zweig]

Hello Mike,

	Yes, we have such a batch coordinate conversion tool available on the website. 
  From the home page, click on "Utilities" from the navigation side-bar.  Then 
click on "Batch Coordinate Conversion (liftOver)".  This tool allows you to 
convert genome coordinates and genome annotation files between assemblies.  It 
accepts input data in the form of either positional data: chrN:start-end, or BED 
format.

	Please let us know if you need more instruction.


Regards,
