Hello, Wenyue. You are seeing multiple numbers in the exon column because for those particular genes, there is more than one exon. When this happens, it groups all of the exon start coordinates into a single column and all of the exon stop coordinates into the following column.
If you would like your output to have one exon per line, select your Table Browser options as you have been, but change the following: 1. On the "output format" line, select "BED - browser extensible data" 2. Click "get output" 3. In the "Create one BED record per:" section, select "Exons plus" and leave the "bases at each end" set to zero 4. Click the "get BED" button Please contact us again at [email protected] if you have any further questions. --- Steve Heitner UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wenyue Sun Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 11:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Genome] For help on Exon Dear Help Desk, When I used the table browser and output the gene data and find that the column for exons is not a single number and regularly it is a set of numbers separated by comma. I am not why these are not single numbers. Could you let me know whether there is a method to extract the data from the browser by exon so that we can have start and stop for each exon in a single row? I plan to handle multiple genes simutanously, and need to have one exon per row. Thank you very much.
