Hello Libia Pava,

If you choose the BED output format and click "5' UTR Exons" or "3' UTR 
Exons" then the strand is taken into account, and the item name 
indicates whether it is 5' or 3', e.g. this "-" strand refGene (position 
= chr21:32584947-32932290):

chr21 32639288 32639299 NM_003253_utr5_24_0_chr21_32639289_r 0 -
chr21 32649047 32649224 NM_003253_utr5_25_0_chr21_32649048_r 0 -
chr21 32711557 32711737 NM_003253_utr5_26_0_chr21_32711558_r 0 -
chr21 32836295 32836348 NM_003253_utr5_27_0_chr21_32836296_r 0 -
chr21 32931239 32931290 NM_003253_utr5_28_0_chr21_32931240_r 0 -

Note that the utr3 results are from chromStart to thickStart and the 
utr5 results are from thickEnd to chromEnd (of the "whole gene" bed output).

If you are using BED output and the UTR Exons options as above but still 
having trouble please send me an example.

If you are wanting "-" strand coords to be reverse complemented  you 
will need to do that locally.

Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you 
have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the 
mailing list at [email protected].
