when I convert hg19 to hg18, some positions from chr3 in hg19 are matched to chr2 in hg18. e.g. chr2:5144329 in hg19 are matched to chr3:165545129
Does anyone know why?

Interesting; I have not seen that. It looks like portions of the chromosomes were rearranged between the different assemblies. If you download the liftOver hg19 to hg18 chain file and type inyou will see:Code:grep 'chr 2' [hg19_to_hg18_chainfile] | grep 'chr 3' | less
The position you listed would fall within the last line.Code:chain 25982 chr2 243199373 + 16340754 16341023 chr3 199501827 - 118072788 118073057 6523537 chain 4737 chr2 243199373 + 5145834 5145884 chr3 199501827 - 155139362 155139412 33407240 chain 4607 chr2 243199373 + 5145066 5145350 chr3 199501827 + 191348934 191349218 1967131 chain 2538 chr2 243199373 + 16338477 16338504 chr3 199501827 - 154040818 154040845 35425972 chain 1237 chr2 243199373 + 5143151 5144336 chr3 199501827 - 33955506 33956705 3724972

have you tried to look at the sequence to see if its the same?Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
