I have the ensembl and EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86 packages, as well as a data set with 60,000+ rows of genes. However, I only wish to focus on those that are non-coding or coding genes at a time. I am unsure which function to use, and how to properly word it to do this. How would I do so(in R) so that I can create a new data set for retrieving and analysis? EX:

R> data_coding <- "function"

R>data_noncoding <- "function"

R ensembl ensembldb noncoding rna protein coding • 956 views

You can simply filter the complete EnsDb database to contain only protein coding genes or all other genes (note: this includes miRNA genes, lincRNAs, pseudogenes, snoRNA, scaRNA, sRNA, scRNA, rRNA ...).

> library(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86)
> ## Filter the EnsDb database for protein coding genes
> edb_coding <- filter(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86, filter = ~ gene_biotype == "protein_coding")
> ## Any query will now extract only information for protein coding genes
> genes(edb_coding)

For the non-coding genes you can do it analogously:

> edb_noncoding <- filter(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86, filter = ~ gene_biotype != "protein_coding")

 

Also note that you can use return.type = "DataFrame" in each function (e.g. genes, transcripts, ...) to extract the information as a DataFrame instead of the default GRanges.
