Hi  Sarah,

The Table Browser is a useful tool for extracting this information (see 
this previously answered question for more details: 
https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2005-June/007640.html). From 
main page, click on "Tables" on the top blue navigation bar. After 
selecting a clade, genome, and assembly of your choice, set the following:

group: Variation and Repeats
track: RepeatMasker
table: rmsk
region: genome, or define a region
filter: click create, then set repClass does match "simple_repeat", 
click 'submit'
output format: sequence
output file: enter a file name to save your results to a file, or leave 
blank to display results in the browser

Click 'get output'. On the following page, select the appropriate 
options then click 'get output'.

For more information on how to use the Table Browser, please refer to 
our help pages:

Feel free to contact us again at [email protected] if you have any 
further questions.
