Hello, Hui. If you are a new user of the Genome Browser, I highly recommend checking out the OpenHelix tutorials at http://www.openhelix.com/downloads/ucsc/ucsc_home.shtml.
For help with identifying and explaining data file formats, I recommend two things: 1. Luvina earlier recommended using the Table Browser. From the Table Browser, once you have selected your table of interest, you can click the "describe table schema" button which will show you the various fields contained in the table along with examples of the data you might find in those fields. 2. If you go to http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html, you will find a section for every file format present in the Browser along with an explanation of the fields contained in those formats. If you're not certain what format a table or file is in, this page should help you identify the format. Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further questions. --- Steve Heitner UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ??

I have viewed the two links you gave me .but I still can't find a file that give me the information of gene combined with protein (that means a gene corresponding to a protein ) .because the content in the website is too rich ,I tried to download some information from the website to know the structure of the data .I found I have much problems to understand the data .First ,I don't know the reason for the plenty of submenu (how do you classify them ?depending on species ,or orthers ? ) .Second, in a file named gene_product.txt (for example) ,I can't understand what's the meaning of each column and line.~ (like this:154618 A0DSP5_PARTE 244260 100185 25794 GSPATT00019755001: Chromosome undetermined scaffold_62, whole genome shotgun sequence) best wishes for you !
