This page is intended to be a collection of previously answered questions on the Genome and Genome-Mirror mailing lists that are useful for answering repeat questions.

Genome

Helpful Items

If a user is looking for human or mouse genome updates, point them to:

To report errors in the human or mouse assemblies:

For users looking for help identifying effects of their novel SNPs, send them to (thanks Angie):

To check a user's Browser session in hgcentral:

  • From a shell prompt, enter a command similar to the following (depending on the username or session name you are searching for):
$ hgsql -h genome-centdb -e "select userName,sessionName,shared,firstUse,lastUse,useCount from namedSessionDb where userName like 'Gunnar%'" hgcentral
+------------------------+--------------------+--------+---------------------+---------------------+----------+

To save a user's session to a file:

  • From a shell prompt, enter a command similar to the following:
$ hgsql -h genome-centdb -Ne "select contents from namedSessionDb where userName like 'Gunnar%' and sessionName='2Lfullgenom'" hgcentral > gunnarSession
  • The session can then be restored from this file on the hgSession page in the "Restore Settings" section

Questions

I have a list of Gene Symbols and I would like to get corresponding sequences for them.

Sharing custom tracks

Help me create a Custom Track

Is there a size limit for custom tracks?

How do I find non-protein-coding genes?

I have a list of identifiers, how do I find the coordinates?

Format of chain, chainLink and net tables

How do I get a table of restriction enzymes?

Note that the utility findCutters is better than oligoMatch: oligoMatch has no good way of finding AsuI (G'GnC_C). It's possible but it would need to be run four times: GGACC, GGCCC, GGGCC, GGTCC and the output combined. findCutters does it all in one command.

GO

How do I find orthologous genes (using TransMap)

How do I find telomeres and centromeres?


Questions about SNPs?

Instructions for downloading jksrc

I want to compare species A with species B

To tell a user we would be willing to add a permanent custom track

Is multiwig functionality available for custom tracks

Why do some gene have startCodon = stopCodon (thickStart = thickEnd)?

How do I get a list of SNPs that correspond to my gene?

How do I cross-reference UCSC gene names to RefSeq gene names?

Genome-Mirror

ENCODE

Helpful resources

Questions

"Which cell types are used by ENCODE ? Did XXX ENCODE track use standard ENCODE cell protocols ? What was the ENCODE growth protocol for cell type YYY ?"

" Has transcription factor XXX been mapped by ENCODE ? How do I find overlaps between my own ChIP-seq regions and ENCODE transcription factors ?

  • What is represented by field NN in ENCODE bed files ?
  • What is the difference between file XX and files XXV2 ? Why is file XX not displayed in the browser ?
  • How do I interpret an ENCODE filename ?
  • How do I display ENCODE data at GEO ?
