The target genes that you mentioned in your file are gene symbols. I was trying to find if any of my list of human genes are present in the file by matching the gene symbols, but then I noticed that some of the gene symbols for human are not mentioned according to human gene symbols. For example: C-myc, Caspase-3, dicer, Tcl1 etc. For some I look into NCBI to see their actual human gene symbols. For the above examples their names should have heen: MYC for C-myc, CASP3 for Caspase-3, DICER1 for dicer and for Tcl1 I can't even say whether its TCL1A or TCL1B, despite that the table state for them Species "Homo sapiens" For few genes I would have done it manually, but I have a long list of human Gene symbols downloaded from UCSC Genome Browser to compare. Please provide me with the correct gene symbols at least for human target genes. To UCSC: I hope all the gene names that are mentioned in your refGene.txt file are the correct gene symbols according to HGNC guidelines at least for human.
