Hi Yuan, The NR is part of the refSeq identifier and it is given to non-coding transcripts including structural RNAs, transcribed pseudogenes, and others.
To find out more about refSeq Identifiers: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/RefSeq/key.html#accessions The table schema for this track has the information about the the fields: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?db=hg19&hgta_group=genes&hgta_track=refGene&hgta_table=refGene&hgta_doSchema=describe+table+schema I hope this helps clarify things for you. If you have further questions, please contact the mailing list.

I have some other questions as I go over the list. 1. What does "NR" stand for here? ('name DOES match' field type: NR_*) 2. What is the gene name(refseq) for each lncRNA? Is it name2? Thank you.
