Looking for 3'-UTR and 5'-UTR sequences
Hi everyone! I have a question, I hope you can help me out. I have a list of genes that I´d like to obtain their 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR sequences. I work with Medicago truncatula, and I have RNA-SEQ data to work with. Any idea?? Thanks so much.

Hi Marcos,
It seems that your plant is a model species and well annotated. You could download the gene annotation and extract the 5' and 3' UTR from the gff3 file.
In order to incorporate the RNA-Seq data, you need to align the reads to the Medicago truncatula annotation and intersect the alignment with the genes' 5' and 3' UTR boundaries.
Cheers,
Michael

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
