Hello Jennifer, Here is the way to retrieve this data. Use the Table Browser as follows:
clade: mammal; genome: rat; assembly: Nov.2004; group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks; track: RefSeq Genes; table: refGene; region: genome; output format: "selected fields from primary and related tables". Click "get output". Check the box next to rn4.kgXref and then click to allow selection from selected tables. Now you may choose the fields from rn4.refGene along with fields from rn4.kgXref. The field you are looking for is called geneSymbol, so check the box next to that along with which ever other fields you like. Finally, click "get output" again. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you require further assistance.
