Hello,

Non-coding genes can be identified in the RefSeq Genes 
and UCSC Genes tracks. There are tRNA repeat sequences
includes as a datat type in the Repeat Masker track. This is
likely not what your are looking for, but please review the
Repeat masker documentation to decide for yourself.

For RefSeq Genes, these can be identified by looking in the 
primary table, refGene, with transcripts with name
like NR_*. Alternatively, any transcript that meets 
the criteria of this sql query would be none coding:

select name from refGene where exonEnds = cdsStart and exonEnds = cdsEnd;

For USCS Genes, the track controls allow for the display of 
non-coding genes. In addition, any transcript that meets 
the criteria of this sql query would be none coding:

select count(*) from knownGene where exonStarts = cdsStart and exonStarts = 
cdsEnd;

If you need the transcript RNA sequence, the table
browser can provide this. Adapt the queries above
to the "filter" function and output as sequence.
