[BiO BB] Finding introns and exons..

[Ann Loraine]

Greetings Hamid,

When I do this, I usually get the data from UCSC Genome Informatics
Table Browser as a "GFF" file and write some simple scripts to extract
non-redundant exons and introns. You can even use simple Unix
utilities (grep, cut, uniq) to do the first steps.

Fruit fly is actually a good choice for this because the FlyBase gene
structure annotations are relatively non-redundant - that is, the same
general gene structure is rarely included multiple times, unlike for
other data sets from other species. However, in the past I have
noticed that when multiple ORFs are associated with a gene structure,
FlyBase reports the gene structure multiple times, once per ORF. Also,
you have to be careful to filter out pseudogenes and RNA genes, if
these are not of interest.

Cheers,

Ann
