Hello, I am trying to understand how strand information for mRNAs in the all_mrna table is determined. I have followed the FAQ about estOrientInfo, and am I correct in understanding that if the intronOrientation field is negative, then the strand orientation should actually be opposite of what is listed in the all_est table? Is this the same for the mRNAs? How is orientation in the all_mrna table determined in the first place? Is it based on the orientation suggested by the one who submitted the mRNA to the database, but then possibly revised in the mrnaOrientInfo table? If the intronOrientation is 0 in the mrnaOrientInfo table, how probable would it be that the orientation suggested by the all_mrna table is correct?
Thank you, Nandita _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
