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

Plus: the pairwise alignment assembles:
