Hi, I was checking the UCSC known gene files for tRNA/snoRNA/mirRNA and could not find any. Is it correct that the UCSC known genes contains only mRNA transcripts? There is a discrepancy of ~27000 total canonical UCSC genes and ~21000 UCSC protein coding genes. Are the missing 6000 genes genes which have lengths and characteristics of mRNAs/long noncoding RNAs but have not been shown to be expressed as protein?
Thanks a lot, Stefanie --------------------------------------------------- Stefanie Gerstberger graduate student in Chemical Biology Tri-Institutional Program Cornell University, Rockefeller University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
