Hi Daily,

You can create a custom track with your coordinates of interest in the 
genome browser and create a session containing that custom track. You 
can then access the session from the 'Sessions' tab and share the 
session URL with others.

For more about custom tracks see:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQcustom.html

For more about sessions see:

http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgSessionHelp.html

I hope this is helpful. Please contact the mail list 
([email protected]) again if you have any further questions.
