Hi Emmanuelle, This is a bit cryptic! The information is in the "Gap" track. You can use the Table Browser to get a list of their positions (or even to make a custom track of only the centromeres).
To get the list, go to the Table Browser and select the chicken assembly you are using, and then: group: Mapping and Sequencing Tracks track: Gap table: gap region: genome Then hit the "filter: create" button and add a filter so that "type does match centromere". Here is the result (with only some fields selected) for the gap table on galGal3: #filter: chr1_gap.type = 'centromere' #chrom chromStart chromEnd size type chr1 76857402 78357402 1500000 centromere chr2 52291241 53791241 1500000 centromere chr3 11629676 13129676 1500000 centromere chr4 19307568 20807568 1500000 centromere chr5 6508833 8008833 1500000 centromere chr6 0 1500000 1500000 centromere chr7 7306175 8806175 1500000 centromere chr8 10229800 11729800 1500000 centromere chr9 0 1500000 1500000 centromere chrZ 24138914 25638914 1500000 centromere chr10 1941640 3441640 1500000 centromere chr11 2688051 3188051 500000 centromere chr12 2978691 3478691 500000 centromere chr13 0 500000 500000 centromere chr17 0 500000 500000 centromere chr23 1889797 2389797 500000 centromere chr25 186645 686645 500000 centromere chr28 3030920 3530920 500000 centromere -- Brooke Rhead UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 10/12/10 08:03, Emmanuelle Lerat wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to find position information of the centromere of the > chicken genome.
