Hi,

I am downloading ensembl gene annotation for the rat genome in gtf format via http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables

Is there a way to download the ensGene annotation for a specific version of Ensembl? Or will I always get the latest version (i.e. if I donwload now I will get release 69, but if I had downloaded a few months ago I would have got 68)?

Many thanks,

Jim

Hello Jim,

The ensGene table is the one that underlies the track we display and
therefore of the same version. For more information on ways to check
the version of our track please see this previously answered mailing
list question:

https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2011-March/025316.html

We don't archive any of the older versions of this track so the only
version available from our site for download is the one currently
being displayed. If you are looking for a version other than the one
you see, you might try Ensembl's ftp site here:

ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/

If you have further questions please feel free to contact the mailing
list again at gen...@soe.ucsc.edu.
