Hi,

I see that only mitochondrial rRNA genes are included in the hg19_RefSeq bed file. Could you please tell me why?
Thank you,
Maria Angela

    Hi Maria,
    I just downloaded hg19_RefSeq.bed.gz, it contains 63169 transcripts (i.e the whole transcriptome).

      Thanks for your reply.
      I am sorry, I was not clear. I mean, why only rRNA genes are considered for mitochondrial chromosome? I expected to find all the coding genes (MT-ND1, MT-ND2 ..., MT-ATP6... and so on)

        HI Maria,
        The bed file was downloaded from UCSC table browser, I have no idea why only rRNA genes were included for chrM.

    Hi Maria,

    I was trying to use read_distribution.py get an error, I downloaded the gtf files from UCSC and converted to bed using gtf2bed. Can you please help me.

      Hi Rimpi,

      I'm experiencing the same issue that you're having as well - were you ever able to find a fix or does anyone else have some recommendations?
