How to get mouse-human homologues table from UCSC?

Hello,

How to get the mouse(mm10)-human(hg19) homologues gene table with its genomic coordinates from UCSC?

genome gene alignment sequence

@Sej Modha I am aware of how to get the list from ensembl. But I would like to have it from UCSC. There are some genes which are not found in ensembl but found in UCSC

Best way is to get a list of homologues from Homologenes, and to use join(linux command or database operation) to merge it with the information you want.

I'm not sure how you can do this in UCSC but you can use ensembl.

You can use the NCBI HomoloGene database. You can download the homology file from their ftp and then parse this file to get the homologous genes (human<->mouse) you are interested in. To do so, you can use the Taxonomy IDs.

I don't really know what you want, but if you are looking for all genes or just single ones I think I remember how you do it :P

If you know the name of a gene then you can use the Gene Sorter.

You select Human h19 as the genome, then go to Sort by and select Protein Homology and press configure

You then get a new window, here you select Mouse Orthologs, select it, and then submit it

Now back at the first screen you only have to add a name in the box and press GO!

This will give a table containing the names of the gene in both species (in case there is a ortholog) and also the location of the human genome. Is this what you were looking for?

@tsr640 I am looking for the entire gene list from mouse genome (mm10 annotated) and its homologues human gene coordinates (hg19)

Check this http://www.informatics.jax.org/homology.shtml and here you can find results for the following:
