  • Length exon, intron, promoter and intergenic regions in human genome

    Hi
    Does anyone know the distribution of exons, introns in the human genome? How many bp are there of exons and the number of bp of introns? Or does anyone have a good suggestion on how I find out?
    Thanks

    Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome

    Here is an excerpt from the abstract of the paper : "Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome" by Sakharkar et al, In Silico Biology 4, 0032 (2004).

    The human genome is revisited using exon and intron distribution profiles. The 26,564 annotated genes in the human genome (build October, 2003) contain 233,785 exons and 207,344 introns. On average, there are 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns per gene. About 80% of the exons on each chromosome are <200 bp in length. <0.01% of the introns are <20 bp in length and <10% of introns are more than 11,000 bp in length.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      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 on Modified Bases...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...
