Hi Li,

Please see this section of our help describing the GTF file format: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format4.

If you want generate the data exactly like the table schema, for the 
output format in the Table Browser, select "All fields from selected table".

Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected]
