[Genome] How to figure out chromosome lengths

[Ton, Carl C]

Hi

I've been folowing this thread, and found the discussion very helpful. However, I'm interested getting a table of the lengths of chromosomes using the human genome Build36.1. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks,

Carl

Hello Shan-

	You can locate the centromeres via the "gap" table in the Table
Browser.  To go to the Table Browser, click the "Tables" link from the 
navigation bar.  Set up the selections to include galGal2 (Feb. 2004), then 
select the gap table, then click the 'filter Create' button.  Set the "type" 
field to "centromere".

#chrom	chromStart	chromEnd
chr1	69458565	70958565
chr2	51099589	52599589
chr3	11514083	13014083
chr4	18442166	19942166
chr5	3100873	4600873
chr7	7193916	8693916
chr8	9913109	11413109
chrW	195830	695830
chrZ	19878666	21378666
chr10	2006967	3506967
chr11	2591139	3091139
chr12	2826948	3326948
chr17	4298663	4798663
chr23	5166127	5666127
chr26	3743731	4243731
chr28	4231479	4731479


	You can follow a similar procedure to identify the telomeric
locations as well (just substitute the word "telomere" for
"centromere").

	Hope this answers your question.  Please feel free to write back to the list if 
you need more help.
