I am trying to use the command line version of liftover with the available 
chain files to map locations from the Drosophila melanogaster genome to the 
other Drosophila genomes. My problem is that I am getting different results 
between the web and the command line versions. For instance, lifting the 
following coordinates between D. melanogaster and D. ananasae (dm3 to DroAna3) 
gives me the following result
Dmel:
chr2R    12750470    12755218    aaa    1000    -
Dana
scaffold_13266    13843857    13848583    aaa    1    +


However, if I use the following command line using (dmel_coords.bed containing 
the previous bed coordinates):
$ liftOver dmel_coords.bed chainFiles/dm3.droAna3.all.chain  dana.lift 
dana.unMap

dana.lift is an empty file while dana.unMap as the following line:
#Split in new
chr2R    12750470    12755218    aaa  1000    -

Why the discrepancies? I also get similar results with other genomes while some 
give me the right answers (for instance with D. Simulans using the 
dm3.droSim1.all.chain file give me the right result). I downloaded the most 
recent chain files yesterday. Is there something I am not doing right? Can't 
figure it out...

Thanks
