hi

how do you get the list of chromosomes in an organism via the perl api?

I ask because I'm trying to get the cow Z chromosome and can't access 
it. It is labelled MT in the genome browser so I have tried

$slice = $slice_adaptor->fetch_by_region('chromosome','Z');
$slice = $slice_adaptor->fetch_by_region('chromosome','MT');

and neither work

Thanks a lot
