Giemsa stain annotation/nomenclature for UCSC cytoband tracks

Question

[maden.sean]

Hi,

Background: This is a general question regarding UCSC's provided cytoband info, specifically whole-genome Giemsa Stain track information, as provided here:

https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables (assembly = hg19; group = Mapping and Sequencing; track = Chromosome Band (ideogram); type = cytoBandIdeo).

My question: Where can I find annotations/nomenclature for the gieStain results in the table schema? ie. how was the values histogram calculated and what does it mean for DNA sequence/density.

Tags: I've tagged modules that cite UCSC's hg19 cytoband track, in case their users/devs happen to know the answer.

Thanks!

Sean
