Thanks Jennifer.
I am working to intersect with the tracks in batch. So the schema in SQL
files works for me.

I have another questions. On your web site, I can go to a schema web
page (e.g. http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables). The web page
provides a more human understandable name for each table For example,
table name multiz17way is not so readable, but the description in the
schema web page provides information about the table: "This track shows
a measure of evolutionary conservation in 17 vertebrates, including
mammalian, amphibian, bird, and fish species, based on a phylogenetic
hidden Markov model, phastCons (Siepel et al., 2005). Multiz alignments
of the following assemblies were used to generate this track". 

So, is there a place that I can download the descriptions in bulk?

Thank you so much for your helps!!

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,
