    Tissue specific 3' UTRs using DEXSeq

    I used IsoSCM to identify alternative 3' UTRs with different lengths in different tissue types(output files are GTFs containing tissue specific 3' UTRs), then I want to quantify the differential usage of these alternative 3' UTRs across different tissue types. I know that neither Ensembl nor UCSC GTF reference file contains the tissue specific 3' UTRs, so I tried to re-annotate IsoSCM output GTF files with reference GTF. The idea is that I want to get a GTF file containing all tissue specific 3' UTRs, which can be used for the following dexseq_count step.

    But, if multiple 3' UTRs/terminal exons (same start site, different stop sites) are annotated with same transcript ID, dexseq_prepare_annotation will only include the longest one in the GFF output.
    Here is an example of two possible 3' UTRs of gene Fubp1 in thymus GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233253	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152232485	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    Two different 3' UTRs of gene Fubp1 in liver GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233965	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152233885	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    One more 3' UTR of gene Fubp1 in spleen GTF file:
    Code:
    chr3	sol	exon	152232395	152232532	.	+	.	gene_id "Fubp1"; gene_name "Fubp1"; p_id "P24872"; transcript_id "NM_057172"; tss_id "TSS5999";
    After merging them and put through dexseq_prepare_annotation step, I only got one exon to represent 3' UTR:
    Code:
    chr3	dexseq_prepare_annotation.py	exonic_part	152232395	152233965	.	+	.	transcripts "NM_057172"; exonic_part_number "018"; gene_id "Fubp1"
    So, I am wondering how can I include all alternative 3' UTRs in the GFF file, then I can use it to count for the usage of these alternative 3' UTRs ??

    Cheers

    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
