[Genome] try to get gene symbol

[Ann Zweig]

Hello Zd,

	You can do this using the Table Browser.  Read more about how to use 
the Table Browser here:

	I'll show you how to do it for the one RefSeq gene you listed in your 
question, but you can also do it in bulk (more than one at a time). 
Configure the Table Browser like so:

clade: Vertebrate
genome: Human
assembly: Mar. 2006 (I assume you want the most recent human assembly)
group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
track: RefSeq Genes
table: refGene
region: genome

identifiers: paste list (Paste the list of Ref Seq identifiers.  For 
this example, I will paste only NM_015023).

output format: selected fields from primary and related tables

	On the next page, choose two fields from the refSeq table: name and name2.

	Your output will look similar to this:

#name		name2
NM_015023	WDTC1

	The table for your Known Gene IDs is called knownGene.

	Hope this is helpful to you.  Feel free to write back to the list if 
you need more detailed instruction.


Regards,
