Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find a bed file including repeat mask regions for the human genome?

Thanks!

Use UCSC Table browser. "Repeats" group and "Repeatmasker" track. Select output format as BED.

After I select the output format as BED and hit the 'get output' button. A second page of options relating to the BED file will appear. There is an option to Create one BED record per 1) Whole Gene; 2) Upstream by 200 bases; 3) Downstream by 200 bases. Should I choose option 1? Thanks.

Depends on if you are only interested in regions with gene.
