Hi,

I have downloaded and am looking at the refGene.exonAA.fa file for the  
46 multizway alignment. I am trying to match each amino acid to its  
corresponding 3 nucleotide position. I realize this is the meaning of  
the header and sequence:

 >Name_Assembly(Species)_Exon#_TotalExons ExonLength(AA) InFrame  
OutFrame Location Strand(+/-)

AASequence

example:

 >NM_032291_hg19_1_25 3 0 1 chr1:67000042-67000051+

MME



What I’m trying to determine is if I have the rules right for  
assigning location. Can anyone confirm this?

Rules I figured based on looking at examples in the file:

Assume given location chr:a-b

1.    * If strand is +

a.     if inframe is 0 than first amino acid is equal to chr:a, chr:a 
+1, chr:a+2

b.     if inframe is 1 than first amino acid is equal to chr:a-1,  
chr:a, chr:a+1

c.      if inframe is 2 than first amino acid is equal to chr:a+1,  
chr:a+2, chr:a+3

2.     *if strand is –

a.     if inframe is 0 than first amino acid is equal to chr:b,  
chr:b-1, chr:b-2

b.     if inframe is 1 than first amino acid is equal to chr:b+1,  
chr:b, chr:b-1

c.      if inframe is 2 than first amino acid is equal to chr:b-1,  
chr:b-2, chr:b-3

Please let me know if these are correct assumptions or not. Thank you.
