Hi Qi-Quan Huang, MD, There are two main methods to locate this type of data using the UCSC Genome Browser.
The first method will give you an interactive visual display of annotation for a region of genomic. 1) Go to main browser page http://genome.ucsc.edu/ and click on blue side bar link "Genome Browser" 2) Select the appropriate clade, genome, and assembly 3) Enter in the genomic position formatted (as explained in the "Sample position queries" section at the bottom of the page) and submit 4) Adjust the displayed tracks as desired. Clicking on a track's name will provide a description of the contents. This is the best way to learn about the different data groups available. The second method will give you data results that can be downloaded as files or saved as custom tracks. 1) Go to main browser page http://genome.ucsc.edu/ and click on blue side bar link "Table Browser" or from any other page the top blue link "Tables". 2) Select the appropriate clade, genome, and assembly. 3) Select the desired group, track, and table. Track descriptions from the first method will help you understand the data contents of the different choices. Using the "Describe table schema" button provides details about the exact field contents for each table. 4) Enter in the genomic position formatted the same way as described above 5) Select output type and submit.
