Hello Sigal, To configure the Browser display, open the browser and click on the track name (these are all links) "UCSC Genes". The track controls are at the very top of the page. The track controls vary between different track types/sources.
Using the mySQL tables, * non-coding genes will have knownGene.cdsStart = knownGene.cdsStop * the canonical transcript for a gene cluster is identified in the table knownCanonical. All other transcripts assigned to a cluster (aka gene) are considered splice varients. The table knownIsoforms links transcripts into genes. Use the Table browser to navigate the tables, learn the schema, and identify the linking keys between the tables. To do this, open the Table browser and set to track=UCSC Genes. Next, with the default table left as knownGene, click on the button "describe table schema". Related tables are listed with linking keys noted. Clicking on any of the tables in the list brings them up to the top where the schema is defined and that table's links are displayed below. Hopefully this is helpful!
