Hi Mike,

You can get information in batch from the Table Browser 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables).  Select the clade, genome and 
assembly that you want to use, and then:

group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks

track: choose the gene track you want to use.  (When you paste a gene 
name into the position/search box, several tracks at once are searched, 
but you need to pick one specifically in the Table Browser.)  To see how 
any of the gene tracks were created, hit the "describe table schema" 
button and scroll down.

region: genome

identifiers: this is where you can paste or upload your list of genes

output format: I would choose either "all fields from selected table" or 
"BED format"

A few things to be aware of:

- You can either start from the Genome Browser and check the "send ouput 
to Galaxy box", or start from Galaxy, which takes you to the Table 
Browser when you click on "get data" and then "UCSC Main table browser".

- If you are using gene symbols, you will likely get more than one 
transcript for each gene.  If you only want a single representative gene 
for each cluster of transcripts and you want to use the UCSC Genes set, 
you can use the "knownCanonical" table.

- SNPs that are insertions may not show up in an intersection, as they 
do not take up any room on the reference genome.

Hope this helps!  If you have more questions for UCSC, please contact us 
again at [email protected].  If you have questions for Galaxy, their 
helpdesk address is [email protected].

genes and have the browser give me all the position information for the
whole list at once? The goal is to have galaxy run an intersect of these
genes with dbSNP131 and count the number of known SNPs on a given gene.
I would greatly appreciate the help!
