Hey cats! I had a question regarding base vs gap numbering on the genome browser. My impression has been that the zero-based, half-open convention used at UCSC was a base-numbered system. However, when you zoom in on the browser, it appears that it's the gaps that are being numbered (as in the attached screenshot).
I've started collecting some thoughts on genome coordinate systems in this draft blog post ( http://alternateallele.blogspot.com/2012/03/genome-coordinate-conventions.html), and it got me thinking/wondering about this discrepancy in my assumption about the conventions you're using vs what I see on the browser. Could you set me straight? Thanks! -J
