Response: Yes. The Genome Browser and Table Browser are both driven by the same underlying MySQL database. Check that your downloaded tables are from the same assembly version as the one you are viewing in the Genome Browser. If the assembly dates don’t match, the coordinates of the data within the tables may differ. In a very rare instance, you could also be affected by the brief lag time between the update of the live databases underlying the Genome Browser and the time it takes for text dumps of these databases to become available in the downloads directory.
