Hi there
We tried to download all human introns from your table “known genes” (hg38). Their total size exceeded the size of the human genome and their number was 562,218, also well above expectations. The number of exons was 629,924. Not sure how to reconcile these figures with published data.
I would be most grateful for a step by step advice how to obtain non-redundant sequences (and corresponding bed files) of currently known human exons.
Thank you.

knownCanonical: This set identifies the canonical isoform of each cluster ID or gene using the ENSEMBL gene IDs to define each cluster. The canonical transcript is chosen using the APPRIS principal transcript when available. If no APPRIS tag exists for any transcript associated with the cluster, then a transcript in the BASIC set is chosen. If no BASIC transcript exists, then the longest isoform is used.
Method 2. Another approach is to include all transcripts for knownGene, but don't count overlapping regions more than once.
For example, if counting exons and introns for the knownGene set (excluding overlapping regions), we would count all exons/introns that don't have overlap with another transcript (TX):

What is the "basic" annotation in the GTF/GFF3?
http://www.gencodegenes.org/faq.html
The transcripts tagged as "basic" form part of a subset of representative transcripts for each gene. This subset prioritises full-length protein coding transcripts over partial or non-protein coding transcripts within the same gene, and intends to highlight those transcripts that will be useful to the majority of users.
Finally, would you be able to adjust the method 3 script to extract exon sequences together with flanking 100 nt of intronic sequences on each side? The ideal output would be: 275,119 FASTA contiguous genomic sequences, each containing 100 nt upstream intronic sequences (in lower case) followed by EXON SEQUENCE (UPPER case) followed by downstream intron (lc).
Dear Cath,
Thank you so much.
I attach a browser shot showing an example of alternatively spliced exon in the U2AF1 gene (denoted by a red arrow). This exon was not picked up by any of the three methods, yet the exon is widely expressed, with mean exon inclusion levels of ~30% (roughly 30% mRNAs. Obviously, the problem is here:
knownCanonical identifies the canonical isoform of each cluster ID or gene using the ENSEMBL gene IDs to define each cluster. The canonical transcript is chosen using the APPRIS principal transcript when available. If no APPRIS tag exists for any transcript associated with the cluster, then a transcript in the BASIC set is chosen. If no BASIC transcript exists, then the longest isoform is used

Can you bypass APPRIS? How exactly do you define a ‘BASIC’ set?
Nevertheless, the overall accuracy is not bad, we will get there!
