centromeres: Centromere base positions

In smgogarten/GWASTools: Tools for Genome Wide Association Studies

Centromere base positions

Description

Centromere base positions from the GRCh36/hg18, GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 genome builds.

Usage

data(centromeres.hg18)
data(centromeres.hg19)
data(centromeres.hg38)

Format

A data frame with the following columns.

chrom

chromosome (1-22, X, Y)

left.base

starting base position of centromere

right.base

ending base position of centromere

Note

The UCSC genome browser lists two regions for the Y chromosome centromere in build hg18. We removed the positions (12208578, 12308578) from the centromere table to avoid problems with duplicate entries in the code.
