Hi Zhi,

You can create a custom track of the upstream regions and a custom track 
of your SNPs and use the Table Browser to intersect them.  If you are 
unfamiliar with these tools, some helpful information is here:

http://www.openhelix.com/cgi/tutorialInfo.cgi?id=28
and
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#TableBrowser

Create the upstream custom track by selecting the FlyBase Genes track in 
the Table Browser (or one of the other gene tracks, if you prefer), then 
make sure "region: genome" is selected and choose "output format: custom 
track."  Hit "get output."  On the next page, name your track something 
like "upstream" and select the button to create one BED record per 
"upstream by 5000 bases."  Hit the "get custom track in genome browser" 
button and make sure it created a track that is the regions you want.

Next, hit the "manage custom tracks" button under the main Genome 
Browser display, and choose to add a custom track.  It is likely that 
you will want to use BED format 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/customTrack.html#BED).

Once you have both of your custom tracks, select the SNP track in the 
Table Browser, hit "intersection: create" and select the upstream custom 
track, and then back on the main Table Browser page choose the output 
format you want and hit "get output."

You should have a list (or a custom track) of the SNPs that are in the 
upstream regions of genes in dm3.

If you have further questions, please contact us again at
