Hello Marek, You can use the table hg18.kgXref to connect data from the knownGene table to names that sound more familiar to you.
Use the Table Browser, with the setting "output" = "selected fields from primary and related tables". Then check the box next to hg18.kgXref and click "Allow selection from checked tables". Now you can choose the columns you are interested in from hg18.knownGene along with columns in hg18.kgXref (such as refSeq ID or Gene Symbol). I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you require further assistance.
