Hello Dick,

You can use the Table browser for this query.

The general idea would be to:
1) set the clade/genome/assembly for hg19 (GRCh37)
2) set group=Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks
3) set track=UCSC Genes and leave default table=knownGene
4) set region=genome
5) upload your identifiers
6) output format: selected fields from primary and related tables
7) name file and "get output"
8) on next form, select desired output fields from knownGene and kgXref 
as desired. You may also want to add in the kgAlias table and select 
fields from that table, too, since that is the table your original gene 
names were compared against (it will make it easier to find transcript's 
pulled by a particular identifier you entered).

Output may have multiple rows per initial query gene symbol. You will 
have to do some analysis to determine which variants to retain/use.

Linking in other tables can help:

knownIsoforms - clusters knownGene transcripts into "genes" - not 
necessarily the same way that gene symbol has been assigned by other 
processes

knownCanonical - is the selected "representative" transcript per 
clustered "gene". briefly, this is the longest, most complete, most 5' 
transcript (see track description). This may or may not be what you 
consider to be the best "representative", but it may be a place to start.

If you find the query to be slow, try using less identifiers per query 
cycle.

This should help to get you started. Please let us know if you have any 
questions as you move through the analysis,

Jennifer
