Hello, Track descriptions can be found two ways:
1) In the Table browser, with the primary table selected, click on "describe table schema". Scroll down in the page past the scheme and the track description will be present with methods, sources, credits, etc. 2) From the genome assembly view, click on the track name. The track controls will be at the top, the track description below. Known Genes is an older track version - it has been replaced with UCSC Genes in many genomes. UCSC Genes contains all of RefSeq (at the time it was created) plus data from Genbank, CCDS and UniProt. Please see the methods for the details. Links to other datasets, including Ensembl, are in the associated tables. To view these (and the linking keys), follow #1 above. The top of the page has the track primary table's schema, but immediately below are the linked tables. Click on any of these to bring them up to the top where their schema is defined. For links to Ensembl from UCSC Genes (linked through transcript), see the table "knownToEnsembl". I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact the help mailing list again if you require further assistance.
