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