"""
This module is used to make a UCSC format gene file that can be read by UCSC.py
The input file can be any format gene file given gene name, chromosome, strand, start position and end position in differnt columns.
The input parameters are the 5 colum number for name, chromosome, strand, txStart, txEnd.
The output is the UCSC readable gene file, where other five colums not used are all set zero.
