Dear SunYoung,

1)Here is info about the GTF format: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format4

The GTF format is based off of the GFF format: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format4

In order to get the additional fields that you are interested in, you will need 
to to change the "output format:" in the table browser to: "selected fields 
from primary and related tables"

Click "get output" 

Click on the desired fields that you would like to have in your output.

Click "get output"



2) Here is information on what chrN_random means: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download10


Hopefully this helps! If you have further questions, please contact the mailing 
list.

Subject: [Genome] problem: GTF file from UCSC Table.

Dear Sir/Ma'am

Hi, I downloaded current version of Mus_musculus GTF file from UCSC Tables.
However I have the following problem.

1. If I select 'Ensembl Genes' track, the schema for Ensembl Genes has 
'name2'(Gene symbol) column. 
But, when I select GTF output format,  GTF file doesn't have [gene name2] 
column, it has only gene_id(Ens ID) and transcript_id in Attribute column.  
like this: 
chr1    mm9_ensGene     CDS     134222783       134222806       0.000000        
+       2       gene_id "ENSMUST00000072177"; transcript_id 
"ENSMUST00000072177"; 

And, when I select 'RefSeq Genes' track and GTF output format, this GTF file 
doesn't have name column(NM_number). 
Could you let me know how I can get the name2(gene symbol) or refSeq 
'NM_number' in GTF file?

2. when I open GTF file, I can see 'chr1_random'. what does the random mean?
because of 'chr*_random', I got the error message from other many analysis 
programs. 
I don't want to exclude the whole chr*_random. 


Best regards,
Sincerely from SunYoung.
