[Genome] Coding Sequence [hg17]

[Anton Kratz]

Dear UCSC Team,

I'd like to ask what the definition of coding sequence in the UCSC Known
Gene table is?
Is Coding Sequence the transcribed or the translated sequence?

I wonder because often there are several exons outside the CDS, espexcially
in the non-CDS region from the beginning of the gene.

One example is BC020953:

BC020953        chr11   +       68100015        68139375
68120240        68137161        10
68100015,68112021,68114703,68115619,68120140,68124384,68125906,68127385,68133947,68137109,

68100087,68112068,68114758,68115750,68120262,68124538,68126013,68127536,68134067,68139375,

Best regards,
