    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]}}'

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
