  • UCSC introns

    Hello, I have a newbie question: How does UCSC genome browser determine where the introns are in the genomes? I read how they build the gene annotations @ http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTra...r1&g=knownGene, but could not understand how they determine where the introns are. I am just wondering if the introns come with the gene predictions from other databases, i.e., refseq, genbank, ... or if the introns are downloaded from a whole another database? Thanks!

    DH.

    The UCSC Genes track shows gene predictions based on data from RefSeq, Genbank, CCDS and UniProt. Following all the steps mention in the link you provided, they annotate all the exons to the reference genome. The introns are only the remaining, un-annotated, reference genomic sequence. Thus, they are not downloaded from another database, but only sequence that shows no significant evidence for a exonic function. ...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
