Function

Extract CDS, mRNA and translations from feature tables

Description

coderet extracts the coding nucleotide sequence (CDS), messenger RNA nucleotide sequence (mRNA) and translations specified by the feature tables of the input sequence(s). If the sequences to be extracted are in other entries of that database, they are automatically fetched and incorporated correctly into the output.

For each input sequence, an output sequence file is written containing any CDS, mRNA and protein translation sequences from the input feature table. Optionally, the CDS, mRNA, translated protein sequence and non-coding nucleotide sequence regions may be written to separate files.

Usage

Here is a sample session with coderet

To extract all of the CDS, mRNA, non-coding and the protein translations:


% coderet 
Extract CDS, mRNA and translations from feature tables
Input nucleotide sequence(s): tembl:x03487
Output file [x03487.coderet]: 
Coding nucleotide output sequence(s) (optional) [x03487.cds]: 
Messenger RNA nucleotide output sequence(s) (optional) [x03487.mrna]: 
Translated coding protein output sequence(s) (optional) [x03487.prot]: 
Non-coding nucleotide output sequence(s) (optional) [x03487.noncoding]:

Go to the output files for this example

Example 2

To only extract the mRNA sequence:


% coderet -nocds -notranslation -norest 
Extract CDS, mRNA and translations from feature tables
Input nucleotide sequence(s): tembl:X03487
Output file [x03487.coderet]: 
Messenger RNA nucleotide output sequence(s) (optional) [x03487.mrna]: 

Go to the input files for this example

Output file format

The output is a sequence file containing any CDS, mRNA and protein translation sequences as specified by the feature table of the sequence(s).

One or more of CDS, mRNA, translation can be excluded from the output by using the appropriate qualifiers to the program (i.e. -nocds, etc.)

The ID names of the output sequences are constructed from the name of the input sequence, the type of feature being output (i.e. cds, mrna, pro) and a unique ordinal number for this type to distinguish it from others in this sequence. The name, type and number of separated by underscore characters. Thus the second CDS feature in the sequence 'A12345' would be named 'A12345_cds_2'.

The translations are not made from the coding sequence, they are extracted directly from the translation sequence held in the feature table.

Notes

One or more of CDS, mRNA, translation or non-coding regions can be excluded from output with the appropriate qualifiers; "no" is prepended to the qualifier name, for example -nocds would exclude the coding sequence.

The translations are not made from the coding sequence, they are extracted directly from the translation sequence held in the feature table.

The regions of the feature table that concern us are shown below.

This specifies that the coding sequence for the gene is constructed by joining several sections of code, many of which are in other entries in this database:

FT   CDS             join(U21925.1:818..987,U21926.1:258..420,

FT                   U21930.1:895..1014,516..708)

This specifies that the messenger RNA sequence for the gene is constructed by joining several sections of code, many of which are in other entries in this database.
