Hi Gung-wei

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but if you're downloading the 
table into bed format using the table browser, the first thing you must 
select at the top is what species/assembly your wanting to view/download 
data from. So once you click "get output" you are downloading only 
tables/data for that selected assembly.

You are correct that there is no species information in the data itself. 
However, knowing that you downloaded it from, for example,  the oryCun2 
(rabbit) database, you know that you have rabbit data. If you've 
download a bed file, you may want to name the file something descriptive 
like, "oryCun2_refGene.bed", for example.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected]
