Hello Yan,

If data came from:

http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/database/


Then the schema information is in two locations:
- Table browser - bring up the table and click on "describe table schema"
- Downloads - for each file *.txt.gz there is a schema in *.sql

Thanks,
Jennifer Jackson
