Looking for 3'-UTR and 5'-UTR sequences
Hi everyone! I have a question, I hope you can help me out. I have a list of genes that I´d like to obtain their 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR sequences. I work with Medicago truncatula, and I have RNA-SEQ data to work with. Any idea?? Thanks so much.

Hi Marcos,
It seems that your plant is a model species and well annotated. You could download the gene annotation and extract the 5' and 3' UTR from the gff3 file.
In order to incorporate the RNA-Seq data, you need to align the reads to the Medicago truncatula annotation and intersect the alignment with the genes' 5' and 3' UTR boundaries.
Cheers,
Michael

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
