Hello, Alex.

We have just released the sacCer3 to sacCer2 liftOver file.  You can now use
the browser to perform this liftOver and the file is also available for
download at: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/sacCer3/liftOver/.

Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further
questions.

Subject: [Genome] over.chain file for converting SacCer3 -> SacCer2

Hi there,

I need to translate some GFF3 (and/or BED) files from the chromosome
co-ordinates used in the current S. cerevisiae assembly (circa 2011) back
into the co-ordinates for the SacCer2 assembly (June 2008).  This is because
all the rest of the data I'm analysing are aligned to the
(older) SacCer2 assembly.

The datasets are the ribosomal profiling data from Ingolia et al. (2009).
The raw files are available via SGD in both GFF3 and BED format:

http://downloads.yeastgenome.org/published_datasets/Ingolia_2009_PMID_192138
77/track_files/

I know I can use liftOver to convert co-ordinates in a GFF3/BED file using a
chain file that maps the co-ordinates of one assembly to another.
However I didn't find any such chain files here:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html#yeast

In addition the online version:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgLiftOver

appears to allow you to convert from old assemblies (e.g. SacCer2) to new
assemblies (e.g. SacCer3), but not the other way around.  

I need to do this because the new Ingolia data is aligned (presumably) to
the most recent assembly (see link above), but I need it in SacCer2 co-ords.

As suggested on http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html I am e-mailing
you to request a generation of such an over.chain file.

Best regards,
Alex
