Hi Vanessa, Thank you for the reply.
In the Genome Browser, I directly typed 'BRCA1' in the gene search box and clicked on jump button. It gave 'chr17:41,196,313-41,277,500' in the position/search box. Attached is the file showing the obtained result.

UCSC Genome Browser:chr17:41,196,313-41,277,500 This will help us reproduce the issue you are seeing. Thanks! Please reply to: [email protected].

The 0-based vs. 1-based reason applies to this case and is documented here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQtracks.html#tracks1 Hopefully this clarifies the issue for you.

Vanessa Kirkup Swing UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rekha Saini <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 4:25 AM Subject: [Genome] Genomic location for the human gene BRCA1 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Hi, I'm interested in the genomic location of 'BRCA1' human gene. When I searched it from UCSC table browser selecting refFlat table, the transcript retrieved lies on Chr17 with transcript start as 41196311. And when I used UCSC Genome Browser for the same gene, chromosome start retrieved is 41196313. To be more specific, following are the coordinates obtained: UCSC table browser :chr17:41196311-41277500 UCSC Genome Browser:chr17:41,196,313-41,277,500 Even if we consider the start coordinates associated with table browser to be 0-based and assume that the Genome Browser converts it to 1-based, then also the results are not consistent. Could you please help us to understand how the UCSC Genome Browser process it and which one is the correct genomic location for the gene 'BRCA1' ?
