Yes, download and unzip it (108,604 kb). The .txt file can be manipulated with Wordpad. The chr-Y extraction is only 85 kb, of which was imported to Excel. I, then, made a few structural changes, and saved to .xls (305 kb) and .html (658 kb) formats. The chr-X extraction converts to 7,013 kb in .xls format, a bit too large, I think, to upload to my website. I can email that to you, if you want. The other chromosome extractions I've not done yet.
