How can I obtain a complete list of all the genes in the UCSC Known Genes table for a particular organism?
Response: To obtain a complete copy of the entire Known Genes data set for an organism, open the Genome Browser Downloads page, jump to the section specific to the organism, click the Annotation database link in that section, then click the link for the knownGene.txt.gz table. Data for a specific region or chromosome may be obtained from the Table Browser by selecting the “Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks” group, the “Known Genes” track and the “knownGene” table. Set the position to the region of interest, then click the “get output” button. Pre-generated lists of all the UCSC Known Genes for human, mouse and rat can be found here. These lists are updated whenever the associated knownGene tables are updated.
