Thanks for suggestions, Brooke.

You are right: "All rna_exons records that have any overlap with my_regions" 
will give me not only exons but whole genomic sequence.

It is a funny coincidence that I have been trying to do this on Galaxy all day 
long. The Galaxy has some problems today.

I will keep trying :)

Thanks again,

David
