Dear UCSC, I'm trying to convert the pairwise alignment files between human and gorilla (http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/vsGorGor1/axtNet/ ) in axt format to maf, by using the axtToMaf program. But axtToMaf needs tSizes and qSizes. The human genome sizes is easy to get. But the gorilla genome (GorGor1)size is difficult to find, especially for supercontigs. I have searched NCBI WGS ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/wgs/?val=CABD01 ) and Ensembl (ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-57/fasta/gorilla_gorilla/dna/ ). But there is no supercontig information matching your pairwise alignment files, for example: 0 chr1 10974 20818 Supercontig_0000035 107816 117704 + 890977 So could you please tell me where I can find the correct information about the supercontigs, especially their length information ? Could you please explain about the function of tSizes and qSizes in the axtToMaf program? Is it necessary for them to be accuracy? Thanks very much
