Your genes.txt contains trailing spaces.
grep then requires that the trailing spaces are in refseq_exons.txt, too!
The awk command, by using $1, while reading the first file (where FNR is NR), strips off the spaces. ($0 would retain the spaces).
But in the second file it does the match in the 1st field $1, you obviously want the last field $NF! (NF is the number of fields, $NF is the last field, and $(NF-1) is the second last field).
Code:
awk 'FNR==NR {a[$1]; next} ($NF in a)' genes.txt refseq_exons.txt
