Dear all,
I have some doubts about chromosome sizes in available genomes. Just  
as example chromosome 1 of mouse (mm9) is 197195432 bp long...  
twoBitInfo on mm9.2bit says the same:

chr1    197195432

On the otherside, the fasta file available in downloads sections  
(chr1.fa.gz) is 201011362 characters long. Since I'm using the fasta  
file for some local alignments, I wonder what I am missing (because  
I'm evidently missing something).
