[Genome] uploading a gene list in the genome browser

[Pauline Fujita]

Hello Manisha,

You can get the data that you're looking for using the table browser 
found here:

    http://www.genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables

After selecting your assembly of interest select:

    group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
    track: UCSC Genes
    table: knownGene
    output format: all fields from selected table

then click on "get output". This gives you all the columns in this 
table, however, if you only want the gene name, chromosome, chrom 
position you can select:

    output format: selected fields from primary and related tables

Then, when you click on "get output" it will take you to a menu where 
you can select which columns you want to appear in the output.

To upload a list of gene names click on "upload list"  beside 
"identifiers" (you can also paste the list directly into the browser by 
clicking on "paste list")

Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you 
have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the 
mailing list at genome at soe.ucsc.edu.
