Hello,

I want to consult on how to understand the "Refgene.txt" file.
For example
"
1654    NM_031497       chr5    +       140180782       140183255       
140180782       140183255       1       140180782,      140183255,      0       
PCDHA3  cmpl    incmpl  0,
971     NR_024227       chr19   -       50595745        50595866        
50595866        50595866        1       50595745,       50595866,       0       
SNAR-A6 unk     unk     -1,
"
If I would like to locate the Tss of the first gene, so I go through the 
sequence  of chr5, starting from the first base which count as "0", until the 
base whose count equal to "cdsStart". Is this correct?
Besides, how can I locate the second gene then? Do I search from the beginning 
of the reverse compliment of chr19 sequence? I mean is the first base on 5' 
direction of the other strand of chr19 is viewed as the first base now and 
count as "0"?

Best,

Yunfei Li
