[Genome] Chromosome range

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello again Ian,

One of my colleagues pointed out that perhaps there is an issue with the 
format of the position you are inputting in the search box.  Be sure to 
use one of the accepted formats for queries listed on the gateway page 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway).  The general format for 
position searches is chr#:start-end.  For instance, a search query like 
chr3:1-1000000 would be acceptable for hg18.

If you have further questions, or if we have misinterpreted your 
question, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
