Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out or at least point me in the 
right direction.

I'm trying to generate coverage plots for my Solexa data on Arabidopsis, but in 
order to do so I need a file containing the chromosomes and their lengths.

A file similar to this example for humans:

<Chromosome> / <Chromosome Length> / <file source>

chr1    249250621    /gbdb/hg19/hg19.2bit
chr2    243199373    /gbdb/hg19/hg19.2bit
chr3    198022430    /gbdb/hg19/hg19.2bit

I would try generating it myself, but I don't understand what the later regions 
represent. For example, chrUn_glXXXXXX, in the above case, but they differ in 
other organisms. I tried generating a file simply with chr1, chr2, ch3, ch4, 
chr5, chrC, and chrM but it did not work.

@TAIR: I tried locating this or a similar file on your FTP and was unsuccessful 
in doing so.

@UCSC: I found the Arabidopsis mirror site, but it doesn't offer downloads 
specifically for Arabidopsis, but I was able to find this file (chromInfo.txt) 
for many of the other organisms in your FTP.


If either of you could assist me with this issue it would be greatly 
appreciated. Generating coverage plots of our data has been in the cards for a 
while and upon learning how to generate them, not having this file is causing a 
set back.

Thank you very much for your time.
