Hi Luvian,

May I have a relevant question that I've downloaded all the coding  
exons from UCSC table browser which looks like the followings:

chr1    324342  324345  uc009vjk.2_cds_1_0_chr1_324343_f        0       +
chr1    324438  325605  uc009vjk.2_cds_2_0_chr1_324439_f        0       +
chr1    324342  324345  uc001aau.2_cds_1_0_chr1_324343_f        0       +
chr1    324438  325605  uc001aau.2_cds_2_0_chr1_324439_f        0       +
chr1    367658  368594  uc010nxu.1_cds_0_0_chr1_367659_f        0       +
chr1    621098  622034  uc010nxv.1_cds_0_0_chr1_621099_r        0       -
chr1    664484  665108  uc001abe.3_cds_0_0_chr1_664485_r        0       -
chr1    664484  665108  uc009vjm.2_cds_0_0_chr1_664485_r        0       -

I have some difficulties to understand the 4th column of this file.

1) I presume 'uc*****.*' is the UCSC ids. By looking at the first four  
records on the genome browser, they seem corresponding to the same  
gene. Are they alias?
2) What do those numbers following 'cds_' mean? Are they indexing  
exons of a gene?
3) After 'chr1', the number obviously represents some position  
information, but I am not sure what position exactly? It looks 1bp  
after the start position on the 2nd column. I interpret the 2nd & 3rd  
column as the exon coordinates. Am I wrong?

Thank you very much in advance!
