[Genome] download GNF expression data

[Brooke Rhead]

Hello Bogdan,

To get GNF expression data for a set of genes, go to the Table Browser 
and select the clade, genome, and assembly of interest.  Then select 
"group: Expression and Regulation" and "track: GNF Atlas 2".  Choose 
"table: knownToGnfAtlas2".  This is a table of UCSC Known Gene names 
linked to GNF Atlas 2 values.

Paste your list of gene identifiers in the "identifiers 
(names/accessions):" section.  These must be UCSC Known Gene 
identifiers.  To see their general format, click on "describe table 
schema" and look at the 'name' field.  If you need to convert from some 
other type of identifier (like the gene symbol) use the 'kgXref' table 
(look for the 'kgID' field).

Once you have pasted the list of UCSC Known Gene identifiers into the 
box, select "output format: selected fields from primary and related 
tables".  Now you can select the table you are interested in retrieving 
expression data from, and your results will be limited to the genes in 
your list.

I hope this is helpful.  Please let us know if you have any further 
questions.
