Noncoding human genome (hg19)

[dpolychr]

Hi all,

I would like to download in BED the coordinates of the noncoding human genome. I was thinking to exclude Refseq genes and repetitive elements and then take what is left but how can I do that?Only the .fa files are available and I need the chromosomal coordinates

Any suggestions would be really helpful

You could try making a .bed file of the full genome, and maybe intersectBed -v from BEDTools would return what you wanted.

UCSC table browser. If you go to UCSC and click on tables, and then use all regions that have no overlap with refseq as a custom track, followed by further intersecting that track to have no overlap with repeat masker you will get what you want in a matter of minutes, no command line required.
Hope this helps
