Hi Dean,

Yes, just use the table browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables).

Select the gene set you want to compare against (e.g., track UCSC Genes, 
table knownGene) and then create an intersection with your bed file that 
you've uploaded as a custom track.

On the "create intersection page" choose the option (using UCSC Genes as 
an example):
• "All UCSC Genes records that have no overlap with [CustomTrackName]"
- or even -
• "All UCSC Genes records that have at most [ x ]% overlap with 
[CustomTrackName]" ...

Click submit there and just choose what output format you want.

- Greg
