Trying to get a GREP of things…

Hi all,

First time poster, long time reader.

I have a list of genes in a .txt file. This is a simple column of all the genes I want to know more about
I also have a flyBaseGene.txt file, a tab delimited file containing information like TSS start, stop, and all the other fun stuff.
[My genes of interest match those in flybasegene by simple Ctrl+F]

I’ve tried for a while running the following command with some variations in Linux with no desired outcome.

grep -F Genes_of_interest.txt flyBaseGene.txt > Pleasework.txt

Please help!!11!11!1!!1!!!!!
