Hi Dana, the way I do it, is the following: Get a list of all genes (e.g. RefSeq) using the "Get Data" "From UCSC Main Tablebrowser" option. "Get Flanks" of the genes (in your case 1kb or 5kb). Use "Join" from "Operate on genomic intervals" to intersect your peak regions with a) Upstream Flanks b) Downstream Flanks c) the genes themselves. You can then use the "Group" option and "Concatenate queries" to get a single list of genes without duplicates. Cheers Manuel ----- Original Message ----- Good Afternoon Dana: You could produce such a list from a given position with a MySQL operation to the UCSC public MySQL server.

The UCSC folks suggested you could help but I should have been more specific with my request. Ideally we would like to take global binding coordinates and find out what genes are nearby (ie at either a 1 or 5kb) instead of simply the “closest feature”. Might you be able to advise on this? I have enclosed the text (.bed format) file I used to get the binding sites in the UCSC genome browser. Thanks in advance!
