Hi Philipp,

You can convert gene IDs into gene names using the Table Browser 
(Tables). Here are the steps:

- Select clade, genome, assembly of interest
- Select group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
- Select track: UCSC Genes
- Select: table *kgXref*
- For identifiers, either upload your list of gene IDs, or paste them in 
using the "paste list" button
- Select output format: selected fields from primary and related tables
- Click Get Output

On the resulting screen:
- Check kgID and geneSymbol
- click "get output"

You should get out put that looks like:

#kgID           geneSymbol
uc001aal.1      OR4F5
uc001aaq.1      DQ599874
uc001aar.1      DQ599768
uc001aax.1      BC036251
uc001aba.1      X64709
uc001abv.1      SAMD11
uc001abw.1      SAMD11
uc001abx.1      SAMD11
uc001aca.1      KLHL17
uc001acb.1      KLHL17
uc001acc.1      KLHL17
uc009vjh.1      OR4F5
uc009vjn.1      LOC643837
uc009vjo.1      LOC643837


Let me know if you have any additional questions.
