Hello Marco, You can get this information from our Table Browser tool. The knownCanonical table identifies exon and intron regions and if we intersect this with the complement of the UCSC genes track this should return only the intronic regions.
To do this, go to the Table Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables) and after selecting the human hg19 assembly select: group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks track: UCSC Genes table: knownCanonical then click "create" intersection. In the "Intersection with knownCanonical" menu select: group: Genes and Gene Prediction Tracks track: UCSC Genes table: knownGene then select: "Base-pair-wise intersection (AND) of knownCanonical and UCSC Genes " and " Complement UCSC Genes before base-pair-wise intersection/union " then hit submit. Again in the main Table Browser menu click the "summary/statistics" button near the bottom - this should return the information you are looking for.
