Hi Shibu,

To retrieve the gene names you will need to use the table browser. To get to 
the table browser click on "Tables" in the navigation bar.

Select the "clade:", "genome:", and "assembly:" that you are interested in.

Set group: "Gene and Gene Prediction Tracks"
Set track: "UCSC Genes"
Set table: "knownGene"

Click on "define regions"

You can either upload your list (the bed file) or paste it according to the 
instructions.
Click on "Submit"

Set output format: "selected fields from primary and related tables"

If you would like to save it to a file, then specify a file name for output 
file:

Click on "get output".

Select the following: chrom, txStart, txEnd and geneSymbol (under the 
hg19.kgXref fields section)

click on "get outPut"

This should give you the data that you were looking for.

Please contact the mailing list if you have further questions.

Subject: [Genome] retrive gene names in BED format

Hi,

I have a BED file with 3 columns,..
*******
chr7    83772414        83772415
chr7    94937445        94937446 
chr8    19819438        19819439 
chr8    19819723        19819724
chr11   5248231 5248232
chr14   73683932        73683933
********

I need to get the corresponding gene name in the fourth column..
****************example.out**********
chr7    83772414        83772415        SEMA3A 
chr7    94937445        94937446        PON1
chr8    19819438        19819439        LPL
chr8    19819723        19819724        LPL
chr11   5248231 5248232 HBB
chr14   73683932        73683933        PSEN1

Is there any way to get this information from UCSC?
