Hello Broke,

Thanks for your reply.

I was able to connect to the UCSC's public database using 

mysql --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A

However, when I ran the genePredToPsl program as you suggested:

genePredToPsl -bedFormat db toNISC_allPhase2_all_liftover fileOut.psl

and created a .hg.conf file containing

db.host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu
db.user=genomep
db.password=password 

I got the following error message:

Loading gene predictions.
Doing conversion.
Couldn't connect to database db on genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu as genomep.
Access denied for user 'genomep'@'%' to database 'db'

I did change the .hg.conf file permission to 600.

Thanks for your help.
Anh-Dao

Hello Anh-Dao,

Thank you for searching the mailing list archives before asking your 
question.

The genePredToPsl command needs a MySQL database to function:

usage:
    genePredToPsl db file.gp fileOut.psl

Using your same filenames, this would be:
  genePredToPsl -bedFormat db bedformatfile pslformatoutputfile

Where "db" is the database name, such as hg18.  Many tools in the Genome 
Browser source tree need access to a database.  You could either set up 
your own database and put the appropriate tables in it (in this case the 
'chromInfo' table is needed), or you can use the public MySQL server:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads#download29

As described in the link above, you will need to put a file called 
.hg.conf in your home directory that contains these lines:

db.host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu
db.user=genomep
db.password=password

I hope this answers your question.  If you have further questions, 
please feel free to email us again at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
