Hello, I have two questions concerning the ENSEMBL annotation files (GTFs for human, mouse).
1. Can anyone explain to me why there is no gene_biotype "tRNA" (but "rRNA","Mt_rRNA", "Mt_tRNA") annotated in the annotation files for human and mouse (ENSEMBL version 70), although it is documented? See http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/genebuild/ncrna.html
Ok, GENCODE (should use the same database as ENSEMBL) does not list it -> http://www.gencodegenes.org/gencode_biotypes.html
Is tRNA described by other biotypes?
2. Does anyone know how "complete" the ENSEMBL non-coding RNA annotations are in contrast to specialized non-coding RNA databases (especially for lincRNA)? If I apply an analysis to output percentage of mapped reads per biotype based only on the ENSEMBL annotation file, whould this analysis be representative for the non-coding RNAs (for human and for mouse)?
Thank you
