Hi Jim, I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure how you were going to cross check your sequencing data, so I am not sure if RefSeq Genes, and thus refFlat, is a good track to use. You can always find out more information about a track, and thus it's tables, by reading the description pages (RNA Genes: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=rnaGene, RefSeq Genes: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=refGene)
While the RNA Genes track is a good start, you may also want to check out other tracks in the mRNA and EST track group here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg18. Clicking on the track name will take you to a description page, with more information about the track. You may also be interested in the tRNA Genes (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=tRNAs) and sno/miRNA tracks (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=wgRna). I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to contact the mail list again if you require further assistance.
