Hi Bibek,

We only display RefSeq genes that make it through our alignment process. 
More information about our alignment process can be found on the RefSeq 
description page here: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=refGene.

I hope this information is helpful.  Please feel free to contact the 
mail list again if you require further assistance.

Best,
Mary
