Hi Dan,

Because you had the knownGene table selected, that is the table that the 
3' UTR exons came from (you could have selected a different gene track 
and table and seen the same option for getting just the 3' UTRs).

When you choose to get UTR regions, the coordinates are calculated from 
the values in the txStart, txEnd, cdsStart, cdsEnd and strand columns of 
the gene table.

I hope this answers your question.  If you have further questions, 
please contact us again at [email protected].
