从一件小事看NCBI数据库的维护

今天在写程序把mRNA的检索号(NM_*)对应到基因名的时候,有几行老是报错。经手工检索查找,发现是一个“NM_028968”检索号无法正常找到相应的基因名。奇怪了,其他检索号没问题,怎么这一个就如此“特立独行”呢?本着求根问底的精神,在NCBI中检索了一下“NM_028968”,结果顶部的警示让我大吃一惊:……【阅读全文】

人类基因组中的基因密度、特征长度和SNP密度

一、源起

本周,在为本科生设计生物信息学实验的时候,突发奇想,想要利用Galaxy工具计算一下人类基因组的常识性信息,如:每条染色体上的基因密度,外显子、内含子等特征(feature)的平均长度,SNP在UTR、编码区、内含子等不同特征区域的密度。

二、工具

系统平台:Linux(Ubuntu 12.04,AMD64)。
UCSC Table:下载基因组数据至本地。
Galaxy:用于在线处理基因组数据。
BEDTools(v2.16.2):用于本地处理基因组数据
R(v2.15.1):绘制图表。
其他:Vim(v7.3.429)。

三、数据库

human genome:hg19
dbSNP:135

四、结果

1.基因在每条染色体上的数目与密度。
