Hello Ian, Please see the details page for the UCSC Genes track for more information on how the track was generated: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?g=knownGene
The table hg18.knownCanonical might be what you are looking for. It describes the canonical splice variant of each gene. You can find this in the Table Browser, or in our downloads area: http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/database/knownCanonical.txt.gz I hope this information is helpful to you. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you require further assistance.
