Can we extract full-length trascripts from gencode gtf

[emanlee]

Hello, all

We can see that GENCODE released statistics and GTF annotation as follows:

(1) Statistics: (extracted gencode V19 from : http://www.gencodegenes.org/stats.html )

Protein-coding transcripts 81814

- full length protein-coding: 57005

- partial length protein-coding: 24809

(2) GTF file :

ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/gencode/G...otation.gtf.gz

My question is how can we determine which transcripts are full-length or not ?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Sorry, I just got it:

- full length protein-coding -> the protein-coding transcripts that have no "cds_start_NF" or "cds_end_NF" tag
- partial length protein-coding: -> all the rest (they have either a "cds_start_NF" or "cds_end_NF" tag or both!)
