    converting genomic coordinates to transcript coordinates

    Hello,
    I need to convert the genomic coordinates for UTR and CDS features in the arabidopsis gff3 gene annotations to transcript coordinates. Can anyone suggest a way to do this using awk or other languages? I have tried to first calculate the length of the features for each ID, so that I can calculate the feature start and end positions for each transcript based on the length. However I am not sure how to write the code for the second part. I have searched for related threads but none of the solution seemed to provide what I want. Is there already a package or script for this kind of conversion? Any suggestion is most welcome!

    Here is a sample of my input data:
    Code:
    more Athaliana_167_TAIR10.gene.gff3 
    ##gff-version 3
    ##annot-version TAIR10
    Chr1    phytozomev10    gene    3631    5899    .       +       .       ID=AT1G01010.TAIR10;Name=AT1G01010
    Chr1    phytozomev10    mRNA    3631    5899    .       +       .       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;Name=AT1G01010.1;pacid=19656964;longest=1;Parent=AT1G01010.TAIR10
    Chr1    phytozomev10    five_prime_UTR  3631    3759    .       +       .       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.five_prime_UTR.1;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     3760    3913    .       +       0       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.CDS.1;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     3996    4276    .       +       2       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.CDS.2;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     4486    4605    .       +       0       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.CDS.3;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964

    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     5174    5326    .       +       0       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.CDS.5;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     5439    5630    .       +       0       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.CDS.6;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    three_prime_UTR 5631    5899    .       +       .       ID=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10.three_prime_UTR.1;Parent=AT1G01010.1.TAIR10;pacid=19656964
    Chr1    phytozomev10    gene    5928    8737    .       -       .       ID=AT1G01020.TAIR10;Name=AT1G01020
    Chr1    phytozomev10    mRNA    5928    8737    .       -       .       ID=AT1G01020.1.TAIR10;Name=AT1G01020.1;pacid=19655142;longest=1;Parent=AT1G01020.TAIR10
    Chr1    phytozomev10    CDS     8571    8666    .       -       0       ID=AT1G01020.1.TAIR10.CDS.1;Parent=AT1G01020.1.TAIR10;pacid=19655142
    Here is my working code based on the thread here for calculating the UTR and CDS feature length for each transcript:

    Code:
    awk '$3!="gene" && $3!="mRNA"' <Athaliana_167_TAIR10.gene.gff3|awk  '$9~/Parent/{sub(/.*Parent=/,"",$9);sub(/.TAIR10;.*/,"",$9);ID=$9;L[ID]=$5-$4+1}{for(i in L){print $0,L[i]}}'

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
