Hello Jerry,
If you click into one of the genes that you've mentioned, such as the first one, "NR_024540", you can see on the details page that this gene's description is: "Homo sapiens WAS protein family homolog 5 pseudogene (WASH5P), non-coding RNA." If you want to read up on pseudogenes, wikipedia has a decent article on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudogene I hope this helps to address your concern. Please don't hestiate to contact us again if you require further assistance.
