[Genome] tiling array

[Hiram Clawson]

Good Morning Joseph:

In addition to the galaxy option, you might obtain the results you desire by choosing the
gene track as the first track for the intersection, and your custom track as the second track
for the intersection.  This will give you gene names, but lose the identity of your tiling
array markers.  Galaxy can maintain both sets of identifiers.

Alternatively, one user worked up this script to do this type of merging of results:

this uses the kent source tree utility overlapSelect

>> We're trying to use your ucsc table browser to identify genes from our C. elegans tiling array data.  We've uploaded a usertrack and set an intersection with known genes.  The file we've uploaded contains the chromosome number and position.  The output we receive from your software contains the same information, but seems to select for probesets associated with genes, as we would expect.  However, no additional information is provided.  We would like to know the actual identity of the genes that are present in our tiling array samples.  Is there an output option to do this using the table browser, or do you have another suggestion that might help us with our situation?  Thanks so much for your time!
