Looking for GTF file of exon annotations (GRCh38/hg38) without success

[gcR]

Hello, Im new to the site and to be honest, to bioinformatics.

I will sum it up, im having problems finding the correct file, although I passed the evening checking the forum, github, and other commonly used sources.

I ended up dling from UCSC a table with exon, but Gene_id and transcript_id isnt giving me the gene names to make a merge with counts, and as far as I have been checking, noone had this issue.

chr1 hg38_knownAlt exon  X1048429  X1048578 X0.000000 X. .

5 gene_id strangeSplice; transcript_id strangeSplice_dup1; 
6 gene_id strangeSplice; transcript_id strangeSplice_dup2;

The parametres I used at UCSC were:
Clade: Mammal
Genome: Human
Assambly: GRCH38/hg38
track: UCSC Alt Events
region: whole genome
output: GTF

If you could help me I would be grateful, Im not seeing the problem on my petition.

Thanks in advance.

You can get the GTF files you need from GENCODE project here. Multiple options are available so choose what you need. If you truly want to remove other annotations except "exons" then you will need to do a bit of post-processing.

Thanks you so much, sry for my late answer, I had some personal issues to attend but I got your answer immediatly and was much helpful.
