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 immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
