Hello Jingqin Wu, Yes, the data you describe is the correct match to download. The xeno* files represent the non-human data aligned to the human genome. In this case, the "Other RefSeqs" track.
Some assemblies have xeno track (non-native data) and some do not. Although many non-human genomes have a track called "Human Proteins", based of the Human UCSC Genes track data. Hope this helps!
