[Genome] How to locate genomic location in the fasta file?

[Jinchuan Xing]

Hi there,

I downloaded the human genomic sequence (hg18) in fasta format (chromFa.zip). I realized that positions in the fasta files do not correspond to the coordinates in the genome browser, possibly due to the filling Ns for telomere/centromere etc. I downloaded the Agp files as well (chromAgp.zip) but couldn't figure out how to do the conversion. Is there an easy way to match the genome browser coordinates to the position in the fasta file?


Thanks,

Jin
