Dear admin,

I am currently working on a project and need to get the total count of
nucleotides of human hg-17. After I finished the counting, I compared
with the statistics listed on the genome browser's page:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/stats.html#hg17 

Chr	Assembled Size	Sequenced		I counted
1	247249719		224999719		245522847
2	242951149		237712649		243018229

12	132349534		130303534		132449811
13	114142980		95559980		114142980

22	49691432		34851332		49554710
X	154913754		151058754		154824264
Y	57772954		25652954		57701691
M	16571			16571			16571
Total   3080436051	2858034764		3076798458

Among these chromosomes, some match but some don't. Could you please
help me explain why? 

Your any attention is appreciated.
