Hello Cheng,

You can use the Table Browser to create a RefSeq Genes track output in 
GTF format (GTF has a slightly more structured 9th data field, but is 
otherwise identical to GFF format).

File type help (scroll down to see both GFF & GTF format definitions):

Table browser help:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTablesHelp.html

Query path:
1) open Table browser http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables and 
navigate to your genome & the RefSeq Genes track
2) select output = GTF, name the file for download, submit and choose 
your options.
It is important to note that the GTF file will not have the Gene name in 
the output; the transcript name is used for both data values labeled as 
gene_id & transcript_id. To get the Gene name, start the query over with 
the same track, but set:
3) output format to be "selected fields from primary and related 
tables", name the file, and submit. On the next page, select the name & 
name2 data fields and get data.
4) Using your own tools, substitute the gene2 field (Gene name) into the 
GTF file "gene_id" value, based on the name field (Transcript name).

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

Best regards,
Jen
