Hi Andrew, I think what's happening is that there is more than one transcript for these genes, so when you query a single gene, e.g. Gvin1, you're getting multiple records since there are more than one transcript of that gene. Gvin1, for example, has two, e.g.,:
#name chrom strand txStart txEnd cdsStart cdsEnd exonCount exonStarts exonEnds proteinID alignID uc001meo.3 chr11 - 6734382 6743110 6735841 6741268 1 6734382, 6743110, Q7Z2Y8 uc001meo.3 uc010ras.1 chr11 - 6737526 6767670 6737527 6741268 2 6737526,6767579, 6743113,6767670, Q7Z2Y8 uc010ras.1 Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected] - Greg Roe UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 7/12/11 12:15 PM, Bissell, Andrew wrote: > Greetings, > > > > I am utilizing your database for the acquisition of promoter regions of > various genes within the Mus musculus genome of the mm9 build, using the UCSC > Genes track.
