Hello Everyone,

I see in the cytoband file (from http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg38/database/cytoBandIdeo.txt.gz) that there are several categories of data. What is the difference between "gvar" and "stalk". And "acen" is just centromeres?

Thank you very much for all the great data and help.

Best Wishes,

Debra
