[Genome] regarding UCSC gene table (for Human)

Hello Vinay,

The UCSC Genes track on the human, March 2006 (hg18) assembly does 
include non-coding genes (as opposed to the older "Known Genes" track, 
which did not).  Note that there is not a UCSC Genes track on older 
human assemblies.

There is another track that you might want to use called "RNA Genes" 
that contains non-protein coding RNA genes and pseudogenes.

Here is a previously-answered question that describes how to filter 
these tracks using the Table Browser:

I hope this is helpful.  If you have further questions, please feel free 
to write back to this mailing list.
