Dear community!

I have a large list of transcripts upstream/downstream of target SNPs from D. melanogaster genome obtained by using MySQL - UCSC platform. I am wondering how I can obtain the definition o descriptions (functions) of these transcripts/genes of a way automatic?

Any suggestion is welcome!
