A negative expScore denotes underexpression, and positive values over 
expression, more extreme values denoting more extreme over/under expression.

This means there are replicates of the same tissue. You can find more 
information about the methods and conditions used in the published 
article found in the track description page here: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=mm9&g=affyGnfU74A (see under 
'References').

In general, the Table Browser is a useful tool for viewing relationships 
between tables. From the main page, click on 'Tables' located in the top 
blue navigation bar. Make the following selections:

clade: Mammal
genome: Mouse
assembly: July 2007 (NCBI37/mm9)
group: Expression and Regulation
track: GNF U74A
table: hgFixed.gnfMouseU74aAll

If you click on the 'describe table schema' button, you will find a list 
of all the connected tables and their joining fields. This should help 
you retrieve the data you want. For more information on how to use the 
Table Browser, please refer to our help page: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTablesHelp.html

The track description can be viewed by selecting the primary table from 
the Table Browser (affyGnfU74A in the above example), and clicking 
'describe table schema'.
