UCSC transcripts

Data frame with description of both protein-coding and non-protein-coding transcripts including positions of exons. Transcript name starts with `"NM"` for protein-coding and with `"NR"` for non-protein coding transcripts. It is downloaded as `“UCSC RefSeq (refGene)”` table from the UCSC Table Browser for assembly `“Feb. 2009 (GRCh37/hg19)”` and group `“Genes and Gene Predictions”`.
