Hi Marc, Thanks.

To answer your question, you can get HUGO gene symbols from the org packages as SYMBOL mappings or by requesting the SYMBOL column from a call to the select() method.  If you are using the GenomicFeatures package and the gene names are entrez gene IDs (something that is typical but NOT guaranteed for all tracks since it ulitmately depends on the track that the annotation is based on), then you could get the HUGO symbols like this: geneIDs = c(2372, 2371) library("org.Hs.eg.db") select(org.Hs.eg.db, keys=geneIDs, cols="SYMBOL", keytype="ENTREZID")   Marc On 06/01/2012 09:02 AM, John linux-user wrote: > Hello > > Where and what should I download a table containing human HUGO gene names and exon_id such as 2372, 2371.
