Go to http://www.ensembl.org/info/data/ftp/index.html

Go to GTF folder for human and download

ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-75/gtf/homo_sapiens/Homo_sapiens.GRCh37.75.gtf.gz

You pasted the same link he did.

Yup I didn't realize that. I have corrected it now.

Do you mean the one under Gene sets tab which is 37..5 MB

You must have glanced right over it. It's on the table in the link you provided under the "Gene Sets" Column in the middle. Here's a direct link to the folder:

ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-75/gtf/homo_sapiens

Thanks Deedee, I got it but is there any difference between GRCh37.0 and GRCh37.75 because I am looking for GRCh37.0 to complete my friend previous work (he used GRCh37.0). so if there is a difference when can I find this old version of the annotation.

Yes that is I need

I visited the this link but how can I download this one.

What's "this one"? GRCh37 from July 2009? N/m, safe to assume it's the original GRCh37.

Hi Dan, Can you please guide me where I can find gtf file for hg19. I have tried GRCh37.82 and GRCh38.84 but I don't get any features in my raw count file. I am using Encode RNA-seq data (alignment.bam file) and htseq-count for getting the raw counts. Thanks

how did you get GTF file for hg19 ? please let me know. or someone else could help.
