Hello again Hk,

Yes, this designation means that the transcript does not code for a 
protein according to the data sources. No other attributes should be 
derived from this information. The transcript can still be single-exon 
or multi-exon.

No component sequences (if any) or other annotation is considered when 
generating the alignment. This sequence is compared to the reference 
genome using BLAT. For the full methods, please see the track 
description (click on the track name from within the browser).

I hope this information is helpful.  Please feel free to contact the
help mailing list again if you require further assistance.

Best regards,
Jen
