The Genome Browser Database

This page describes the format of the genome annotation databases that underlie the UCSC Genome Browser. These data were contributed by many researchers, as described on the Genome Browser Credits page. Please acknowledge the contributor(s) of the data you use. All tables for an assembly are freely usable for any purpose except as indicated in the README.txt file in the downloadable annotation database directory for that release.

NOTE: This page is no longer maintained. For complete up-to-date table descriptions, use the "describe table schema" button in the Table Browser.



  Table Descriptions

The data displayed in the Genome Browser are stored in a MySQL database. The tables in the database can be grouped into four categories:

  • tables in which the data has been split into a separate table for each chromosome
  • tables that contain information for all chromosomes
  • tables that contain information specifically related to mRNA sequences
  • tables intended primarily for internal use

All coordinates in these tables are half-open zero-based. This means that the first 100 bases of a chromosome are represented as [0,100), i.e. 0-99. The second 100 bases are represented as [100,200), i.e. 100-199, and so forth. An advantage of half-open coordinate ranges is that the length can be obtained by simply subtracting the start from the end.

Data that have been split into a separate table for each chromosome have the naming convention chrN_[table], where N is replaced by the chromosome name. In many cases a table has been added that contains the unordered part (random) of the chromosome, chrN_random_[table]. Finally, in addition to the standard chromosome names, some assemblies have two special chromosome names, UL and NA, representing fingerprint clone contigs that could not be placed confidently on a chromosome, and individual clones that could not be placed, respectively. The table names are hyperlinked to an autoSql format description of their fields.



  Tables Split by Chromosome

This section shows data that has been split into a separate table for each chromosome.

[chr6] [chrN_B] [chrN_C] [chrN_E] [chrN_G] [chrN_H] [chrN_I] [chrN_M] [chrN_R] [chrN_V] [chrN_W] [chrN_Z]


 Data Stored in a Single Table

The tables in this section contain data stored in a single table rather than in one table per chromosome.

There is a little gotcha in this table format. It has to do with how coordinates are handled on the negative strand. In the qStart/qEnd fields the coordinates are where it matches from the point of view of the forward strand (even when the match is on the reverse strand). However on the qStarts[] list, the coordinates are reversed. Here's an example of a 30-mer that has 2 blocks that align on the minus strand and 2 blocks on the plus strand (these types of situations happen in real life in response to assembly errors sometimes).

0         1         2         3 tens position in query   
0123456789012345678901234567890 ones position in query   
            ++++          +++++ plus strand alignment on query   
    --------    ----------      minus strand alignment on query   
Plus strand:   
     qStart 12 qEnd 31 blockSizes 4,5 qStarts 12,26   
Minus strand:   
     qStart 4 qEnd 26 blockSizes 10,8 qStarts 5,19    

Essentially the minus strand blockSizes and qStarts are what you would get if you reverse complemented the query. However the qStart and qEnd are non-reversed. To get from one to the other:
     qStart = qSize - revQEnd
     qEnd = qSize - revQStart

  mRNA and EST Data
  This is a family of tables. The main table, gbCdnaInfo, consists of minor mRNA and EST identification information, and then ids pointing to the corresponding tables which contain other information. For example, to determine the organism, the 'organism' field in the gbCdnaInfo table contains an id. Finding this id in the corresponding organism table will give the name of the organism.
