Hi,
I have a list of human genes and am trying to estimate their expression in 
different tissues using RNA-seq data.

What would be the easiest and best way to do this?
Would it be to:
1. get the original alignment files (.bam/.sam) and map them to my genes' 
coordinates?

2. get the tables from UCSC browser? My guess is that these tables already 
contain the info that might be used. In particular, there is "name" field with 
ENSEMBL IDs. By simply counting the number of occurance of particular ENS ID 
one might get the proxy of expression.


I tried to do the first approach.
I found that the track "Burge RNA-seq" contains RNA-seq info for several 
tissues, but I could not find corresponding alignment files in ftp. Where are 
they?

I also tried another approach and got some numbers but I am not sure whether 
they correlate with the reality or not.


Another important point: the approach must be universal, so that one can easily 
use it for other organisms.

Please suggest.
Thanks,

David
