Hi Takafumi,

Unfortunately, we have no plans to implement Arabic chromosome 
annotations for yeast. The yeast community has been using Roman numerals 
for a long time, and it is the format we receive the data in. Since 
switching from roman to Arabic numbering would also make all future 
annotations incompatible with previous ones, it seems unlikely at this 
point of a switch.

You could always try using: sed -e "s/chr1/chrI/; s/chr2/chrII/" ... 
etc... when creating your custom tracks.


If you have any additional questions, please reply to: [email protected]
