[Genome] Access of annotation for GenBank and RefSeq genes

[Bushel, Pierre (NIH/NIEHS) [E]]

Greetings,

I'd like to use the UCSC Genome Browser annotation files or MySQL
database to obtain annotation for GenBank and RefSeq genes.  In
particular, I'd like to query the files or the database for the gene
symbol(s), start and end locations in the genome, the chromosome number,
the DNA strand the gene lies on and gene description.  This would be for
human genes which I have a GenBank accession number or RefSeq ID.  Could
you possibly provide me with the database tables, relationships and SQL
required to query this information?  I'm trying to obtain this data in a
tab-delimited format file to use with a commercial software.

Thanks,

Pierre Bushel
