Here's a simple question...I have a list of gene names that I want to retrieve a GTF file of those genes specifically. I put the list into UCSC for RefSeq genes and download the GTF file. The resulting GTF files does NOT contain the gene names, only the gene id's. So, how do I get a GTF file with the gene names???

Maybe what you want is the refFlat table from UCSC? Select Group: Gene and Gene prediction tracks; Track: RefSeq genes; Table: refFlat. Output format: GTF.Originally posted by golharam View Post
A sample output for the Actb gene in mouse looks like this:
The iGenomes also have GTF files http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/igenomes.html.Code:chr5 mm10_refFlat stop_codon 142903798 142903800 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat CDS 142903801 142903941 0.000000 - 0 gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142903116 142903941 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat CDS 142904067 142904248 0.000000 - 2 gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142904067 142904248 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat CDS 142904344 142904782 0.000000 - 0 gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142904344 142904782 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat CDS 142905237 142905476 0.000000 - 0 gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142905237 142905476 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat CDS 142905564 142905686 0.000000 - 0 gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat start_codon 142905684 142905686 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142905564 142905692 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb"; chr5 mm10_refFlat exon 142906652 142906724 0.000000 - . gene_id "Actb"; transcript_id "Actb";
Hope this helps!

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
