question about converting ucsc gene id to known genes

[clo chuang]

Dear specialist:

I've downloaded UCSC known gene tracks from Table Browser but track names(marked in red) are not gene names in that table.

Please see the header and row 1 in the following text. Is there any way to convert uc ids into known gene names as I saw in the genome browser?

Thanks in advance for your help.

#name	chrom	strand	txStart	txEnd	cdsStart	cdsEnd	exonCount	exonStarts	exonEnds	proteinID	alignID
uc001aaa.3	chr1	+	11873	14409	11873	11873	3	11873,12612,13220,	12227,12721,14409,		uc001aaa.3

Hello, Clo Chuang,

You can find the official gene symbol via a linkage between the
knownGene table and the kgXref table in the human assembly
using the Table Browser.

Select the defaults:  group, Genes and Gene Predictions; 
track, UCSC Genes; and table, knownGene.

Upload your list of ucsc IDs into the Table Browser using the

"paste list" button.  Then choose output format, "selected fields
from primary and related tables.  On this page you can select

knownGene.name (and coords if you like) and kgXref.geneSymbol

Then get output.
