Dear Damian,
I was confused with that for a while but I think I see what is happening.
There is one gene, one transcript and one 5utr as one would expect. You
are seeing three start and end positions for the 5utr start and end
attributes but I believe this is because the UTR runs over more than one
exon. If you concatenate the sequence returned for these 3 pairs you end
up with the 5utr sequence returned by BioMart. I understand teh confusion
- you would expect 5utr start and end to give a single pair of coordinates
per utr.
Does that make sense now or am I missing something?
it does make sense, and now I understand where the UTR
sequences/coordinates come from :)
thank you for your help,
