How should I generate gene names after Cuffnorm in the RNA seq pipeline?

I use STAR to align the fastq file to generate the BAM, followed by Cuffquant, Cuffnorm to get fpkm table. But in that table, only ENSG symbol is listed. How should I know my gene names?

rna-seq

BLAST the sequences.

Your ENSG labels are Ensembl Gene identifiers. You can query Ensembl's Biomart service to look up information such as gene identifiers, gene names and a lot more besides. Use your list of identifiers to filter the results to just those genes you want. Access Biomart here : http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview
