Hi all, I want to download a gene sequnce from Genome Browser, but I am not so sure about the direction of the sequence I get. Does it always show the coding strand sequence of one gene in the 5' to 3' from left to right?
In NCBI, we can identify that one specific gene on chromosome is on plus or minus strand and thus can select "showing reverse complement" or not depending on the direction. I wonder if there is similar function on Genome Browser?
Thank you for answering!
Hi Jiayi Chen
wherever you want to download gene sequence it will always be from 5' to 3', even if the gene in reverse stand.
from UCSC, downloading data will always give you the sequence and some text with informations as positions and sense.

Hi Fred,
Thank you so much for answering. I am trying to download now. BTW, is that people usually use UCSC to download sequences of chromosome rather than of one specific gene?
