Hello Agnes,

To do a full (outer) join, this would be a good query path:

1) Load a BED file that contains the coordinates and the identifier as a 
Custom Track. A BED6 (six column) file is recommended so that genome 
strand is used.

Format of BED file:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1

Load as a Custom track with a simple track line:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTracksHelp.html#CustomTracks

2) Go to the Table browser and export both the RefSeq primary table 
(refGene) and your custom track to Galaxy. The RefSeq track is in the 
track group "Gene and Gene Predictions". Your data will be in the track 
group "Custom tracks.

For each track separately, use the default options except change the 
output format to BED and check the box for Galaxy. Then "get output". It 
will load in Galaxy.

3) Once both datasets are in Galaxy, click on the pencil icon in the box 
containing each data set and rename the data format as "interval". Next, 
use the tool Operate on Genomic Intervals -> Join. The result can be 
shared (Options -> Share or Publish) or used for more analysis.

Please feel free to contact the mailing list support team again if you 
would like more assistance.

Warm regards,

Jen
