Hello Jiping Wang, To clear things up a bit, - the name like uc009iut.1 is a transcript name - the name like Hvv-y is a gene name
Some table help: - knownGene has the transcript alignment data - kgAlias maps in the displayed gene name - kgXref maps in more identifiers - knownIsoforms maps transcripts to cluster - knownCanonical note the "representative" transcript for a cluster Use the Table browser and the "describe table schema" function to navigate the scheme further. http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTablesHelp.html Please feel free to contact the mailing list support team again if you would like more help.

The HBBY naming seems to be more useful to me.
