## Description

This track shows the locations of hg18 cytoBands simply mapped directly onto hg19 - not lifted. The relative sizes of the bands can be seen to be different from hg19 cytoBands in certain places, especially on chr3, 6, 7, 11, 16 and mostly chr19. This is in part due to the nature of the new hg19 assembly process which includes Celera contigs for the first time.

The differences between hg18 and hg19 are best viewed with this track and the ctyoBands tracks both in squish mode.
