Dear Sir/Madam, I tried to fetch promotor sequences for all RefSeq genes (human, Mar 2006) in a certain region, via the table browser, specifying "upstream" = 3.000 bp.
However, when comparing the coordinates of the "upstream" sequences to the coordinates of the genes, I found that only for the genes on the + strand I got the upstream sequences. For genes on the - strand, I obviously got 3 kb DOWNSTREAM of the transcriptional end. I am now confused about what "upstream" means in UCSC terminology. Can you please explain it a bit?
