Select the genome and assembly to which you'd like to convert the coordinates, then click the button. If the conversion is successful, the browser will return a list of regions in the new assembly, along with the percent of bases and span covered by that region. Click on a region to display it in the browser. If the conversion is unsuccessful, the utility returns a failure message.
The liftOver tool is useful if you wish to convert a large number of coordinate ranges between assemblies. This tool is available in both web-based and command line forms, and supports forward/reverse conversions as well as conversions between species. You can use the BED format (e.g. "chr4 100000 100001", 0-based) or directly paste text from the position box ("chr4:100,001-100,001", 1-based). -See our Coordinate Counting blog post +See our +Coordinate Counting blog post for a discussion of the difference. If the coordinates do not cover a single base pair e.g. "chr4 100000 100000" (BED) or "chr4:100,001-100,000" (text), this tool automatically extends them to at least one base pair.
Note: It is not recommeneded to use LiftOver to convert SNPs between assemblies, and more information about how to convert SNPs between assemblies can be found on the following FAQ entry.
To access the graphical version of the liftOver tool, click on "Tools" pulldown in the top blue menu bar of the Genome Browser, then select LiftOver from the menu. Note that the web tool has an input file size limit of 500Mb, larger files will require using the command-line version.
