Hi, I would like to confirm whether UCSC accession numbers like 
uc004fdq.1 are stable.
For example, table kgAlias links UCSC accessions wih gene symbols. I 
believe the .1 is the version that may change and the rest of the 
accession is stable. Is this correct?

uc004fdq.1      Q6ZRZ5
uc004fdq.1      uc004fdq.1
uc004fdr.1      MAGE11
uc004fdr.1      MAGEA11
uc004fdr.1      NM_001011544

Thank you!

*p.s. Maybe you could add this information to the section "Linking gene 
name with accession number*" to the FAQ at the Genome Browser's page
