Lift Genome Annotations

This tool converts genome coordinates and annotation files between assemblies. The input data can be entered into the text box or uploaded as a file. For files over 500Mb, use the command-line tool described in our LiftOver documentation. If a pair of assemblies cannot be selected from the pull-down menus, a sequential lift may still be possible (e.g., mm9 to mm10 to mm39). If your desired conversion is still not available, please contact us.

Original Genome:	Original Assembly:	New Genome:	New Assembly:

Minimum ratio of bases that must remap:

BED 4 to BED 6 Options
Allow multiple output regions:
Minimum hit size in query:
Minimum chain size in target:

BED 12 Options
Min ratio of alignment blocks or exons that must map:
If thickStart/thickEnd is not mapped, use the closest mapped base:

Paste in data below, one position per line. You can use the BED format (e.g. "chr4 100000 100001", 0-based) or the format of the position box ("chr4:100,001-100,001", 1-based). See the documentation.

Or upload data from a file (BED or chrN:start-end in plain text format):
