Hello Steve,

Thank you for your detailed response.

I am wondering why then when I have a gene like below:

chr19   |   896502   |   897436   |   uc002lqg.2_utr3_0_0_chr19_896503_r
|   0   |   -

uc002lqg.2   |   chr19   |   -   |   896502   |   913225   |   897436   |
913157   |   8   |
896502,899439,899600,900060,900828,901421,901975,913086,   |
897540,899495,899686,900146,900952,901546,902130,913225,   |   Q96D70   |
uc002lqg.2

why does this only have 3' UTR result when it has 8 exons.

Im sorry if I am just not understanding this.

Thanks,
Dan
