Hello Steve,
Thanks for your inquiry. You may construct a link to the browser like
this to open at the position of the knownCanonical transcript, given a
gene symbol:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg18&singleSearch=knownCanonical&position=FOXP2
I hope this helps. Please contact us via the mailing list if you have
further questions.
Regards,
Luvina Guruvadoo
