Converting Entrez Ids To Genomic Intervals In Galaxy

Question

[Ctanes]

As part of a project, I need to use cistrome Galaxy to convert Entrez IDs to genomic intervals. I uploaded the EntrezID list in tabular format, but I'm having trouble getting the corresponding chromosome list. Can someone help me out?

There's probably no way to 'convert' the IDS but you can do a 'join'. If you load in the UCSC genes from the UCSC Table Browser and then do a 'Compare two Datasets'. You can see how to get the Entrez IDs column in UCSC from this link: https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2010-October/023905.html
