Dear Sir,

I retrieved the UCSC gene symbols from the field geneSymbol from the file 
kgXref.txt in human database hg19.

When I upload the list of UCSC gene symbols to a software called MetaCore, the 
software failed to recognize all the genes. The software representative says 
that the gene symbol information is obtained from the NCBI Entrez gene database.

Is there any difference in the UCSC gene symbols from that obtained from NCBI 
Entrez gene database?

How do I convert the UCSC gene symbols to NCBI gene symbols?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Jaydon
