How much of the genome is in genes?
If you've followed so far you should have:
- a table
genesof genes (with some statistics from the 'canonical' transcript). - a table
regionsof regions including chromosomes or other contigs, describing the assembly. - and you should have (or know how to get) other things like a dataframe of
transcriptsand anexons.
Let's use this to try to figure out how much of the genome is actually covered by genes.
