Hello Ram Vinay,
The Table Browser is the tool to use to extract information from the
Genome Browser databases. To get to it, use the "Tables" link (in the
blue bar at the top of the web page).
You can use the Table Browser to upload a list of genes of interest and
then download data for just those genes. To do this, choose the genome
and assembly you are interested in. Choose "group: Genes and gene
prediction tracks". The track you choose will depend on which gene
dataset you would like to get information from (e.g., RefSeq Genes or
Ensembl Genes). Then, for "table:", use the table at the top of the
drop-down menu list (e.g., refGene or ensGene). Be sure to choose
"region: genome".
Now you can paste or upload your list of genes in the "identifiers
(names/accessions):" section. The gene names must be in the correct
format for the track/table you have chosen, usually an accession number.
To see an example of the format your selected table uses, click the
"describe table schema" button and look at the 'name' field of the table.
The output format you choose depends on what information you are looking
for. If you are only interested in coordinates of the genes (including
the transcription start and stop coordinates and the CDS start and stop
coordinates), you can choose to output "all fields from selected table"
or "selected fields from primary and related tables". If you would like
the coordinate information in BED format (read more about BED format
here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat#format1 ), choose to output
the data as a custom track, and then use the "get custom track in file"
button. Alternatively, if you are interested in obtaining the sequence
for these regions, use the "sequence" output format. Note that if you
choose to output the genomic sequence, there are additional formatting
options available for the untranslated regions and CDS regions.
I hope this information is useful to you. If you have further
questions, please do not hesitate to contact the list again.
