Hello Eric,
You can do this using the Table Browser tool on our website ('Tables' from
the top blue navigation bar). From the Table Browser, choose the assembly and
table that you would like to query.
e.g.
group: Genes & Gene Prediction Tracks
track: UCSC Genes
table: knownGene
region: chr1 (all of chromosome 1)
Then click the "summary/statistics" button to see all sorts of stats about
the genes on that chrom, such as:
item count 6,633
item bases 114,653,420 (50.96%)
item total 323,778,789 (143.90%)
smallest item 22
average item 48,813
biggest item 1,548,868
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to contact
the mail list again if you require further assistance.
Regards,
