I would like to determine the % of reads mapping to exons, introns and intergenic regions. I know BEDTools can do this, but I am not sure how to get the GFF files with the information for exons, introns and intergenic regions separately. Any help? Is there a better/easier way?

One easy way is through UCSC.
When you go to get the Refseq or UCSC knownGene table in BED format, for example, you can choose to report exons, introns, UTRs, etc.
Some of the tables will not have this information, making your life difficult. Like the Ensembl table in UCSC doesn't have this option as far as I can see.
For Ensembl if you prefer it, the GTF file you can get for their db has useful meta info columns 2 and 3 that can help you do this as well.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

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...Today, 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
