Entrez to coordinates / BED

Hi,

I have a list of genes from RNASeq with their Entrez ID's.

Is there a simple way / tool to obtain their coordinates in txt or BED file?

Thank you very much

Using NCBI Entrezdirect.You can get various level of detail.

$ efetch -db gene -id "1050" -format native

1. CEBPA
Official Symbol: CEBPA and Name: CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha [Homo sapiens (human)]
Other Aliases: C/EBP-alpha, CEBP
Other Designations: CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha; CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), alpha
Chromosome: 19; Location: 19q13.11
Annotation: Chromosome 19 NC_000019.10 (33299934..33302564, complement)
MIM: 116897
ID: 1050

Here is a solution in R using the Bioconductor package biomaRt.

Output:
