The centromeric location is approximately estimated by taking mid-point between the last fish-mapped clone on the p-arm and the first fish-mapped clone on the q-arm using relevant UCSC freeze. For an alternative freeze, one needs to manually create a 3-column file of the format described above. } \source{ http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgText } % \references{ % } \keyword{datasets}
