Coordinates of centromers in human chromosomes

Hello, I would like to divide my chromosomes into two parts (shoulders of chromosomes) and do not take into account centromere region.

How can I find coordinates of centromeres of all chromosomes?

This answer gives a solution only for several chromosomes.

centromere

You don't need to moderate/close your own question, especially when you have accepted an answer.

But it is a clear duplicate. I was working 12 hours in a row and did not notice "head" inside the bash command. This question will not help anybody else, so do not know why not to close it. But you're the boss.

Happens to the best of us. I agree - I'll close it up.

I only thought it unnecessary because the system doesn't bump up answered and accepted posts, so this one would go to the background anyway. Since it also has a duplicate moderation comment, people would know it was a duplicate.

But yes, ideally, we close all duplicates so this one should be closed.

The first answer there gives the exact solution. This file has what you need (The only difference is that I substituted hg19 for hg18)
