Hi all, I have a bunch of gene names (the names are in chaos, some from Refseq, some from CCDS...) in human genome. I can I get the sequences and chromosomal coordinates of these genes? If I finally get them, could some tell me how to fetch the orthologs from other veterbrate species (46 species as I know)? Thanks a million!

Follow this similar post https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2007-April/013402.html and Check the UCSC table browser to download the genes of interest (paste/upload the your list to filter).

First is better if you homogenize your gene IDs (I prefer Connect the Dots http://prion.systemsbiology.net/page/DotHome *disclaimer: is our local tool) and obtain the stable Ensembl ID.
Then you can use Biomart to query in other species, see: http://www.ensembl.info/blog/2009/01/21/how-to-get-all-the-orthologous-genes-between-two-species/
Thank you, JC. I tried to homogenize my gene IDs use the tool you suggested, but there are hundreds of genes that have no hits in the database. Does this mean that the database hasn't been updated for a long time or....there is some other reason?

I didn't see that before, really informative
