# Obtaining DNA sequence from the UCSC Database
### Obtaining genomic data from the UCSC database.
* Open the [UCSC browser](http://genome.ucsc.edu/) and navigate to the "Dec. 2013 (GRCh38/hg38)" human assembly.
* Enter the position chr4:133,148,410-133,195,705 and click submit.
* The appropriate view is [here](http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg38\&lastVirtModeType=default\&lastVirtModeExtraState=\&virtModeType=default\&virtMode=0\&nonVirtPosition=\&position=chr4%3A133148410-133195705\&hgsid=471358297_U8D9cWC7h1ENj0nI8wAmipk7iCdV).
* Click the View-->DNA link to enter the "Get DNA in Window" page
* Sequence range and formatting adjustments are available, accepting the defaults and clicking "Get DNA" will retrieve the genomic sequence that was present in the browser view.
* Go back to the "Get DNA in Window" page
* Click the “extended case/color options” button and configure the display so that known gene exons are in bold, red and upper case letters.
* Set default case set to "Lower" with the radio button.
* Check the boxes for "Toggle Case" and "Bold" and enter 255 in the "Red" box on the GENCODE v24 line.
* Click submit and view the newly formatted results.
