List all genes belonging to a certain genomic region

[Marius]

Is there a program which I can tell to list me all known genes belonging to a certain genomic region from an existing genome? Or how would you do this?

Thank you for your help.

The UCSC genome (Tables) site will do that for you, just input the genomic region and specific the gene track you like and the output format you want..

good luck!

Thanks for replying! - I managed do to this so far. But can I somehow get an output with the actual gene names (if available) and their biological function?

I like BioMart for this kind of query. You can filter your region of interest in a whole pile of ways and can then export pretty much any combination of fields, whether annotation or sequence based.
