Gene to coordinates

Question

[laccase]

I wanted to submit a list of gene symbols (e.g. TTC34, KIF1B) and be able to get their human chromosome positions. Is there a website/database I could do that?

Thank you

Hi Jotan1982, thanks for the suggestions but it didn't work. Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to tell me to do.

[jotan]

Did you get any output at all?

Maybe also try changing the "Output Format" to "Select Fields from primary and related tables"

Then select the first five fields, "Gene symbol" and "Gene description".

This is the output I receive:

You can also check here, it's an old post but still viable.

For this kind of things I like Ensembl's biomart: http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/

The list of genes can be used to filter the results ("Filters"). You can select chromosomes and coordinates as well as many other "Attributes".

Be careful which assembly you choose. Ensembl's default is GRCh38. For the previous one use: http://grch37.ensembl.org/index.html
