Hello Polegra,

This program is used as part of the UCSC Genes track building process. 
Basically, the program is used to call the open reading frame for 
transcripts in the track (except for RefSeq and CCDS derived).

A reference to the program is in the Methods, step 8, on the UCSC Genes 
track description page (open browser to an assembly with a UCSC Genes 
track, ex: hg19, and click on the track name to view the description 
with Methods, Credits, References, etc.).

The program is in the kent source tree here:
kent/src/hg/txCds

description of kent source utilities:
http://genomewiki.cse.ucsc.edu/index.php/Kent_source_utilities

source download (build instructions in source tree):
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download27

ftp download of pre-compiled versions of selected programs (this program 
is not included):
http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/

It may be possible to provide you with additional documentation. We will 
send an update.

Thank you for your patience while we gathered the details for your answer,
Jennifer
