Hi, I am trying to extract some basic information using the library Homo.sapiens. One of the variables I am trying to obtain is EXONRANK. When I select a particular transcript (only one shown for simplicity) I obtain different rows because the column EXONRANK has different values for the same transcript (REFSEQ) which I do not understand. Is this working as intended? Is it something obvious that I am missing?

Thanks in advance

I think you are assuming that the underlying TxDb object uses RefSeq IDs for the transcripts, which is incorrect. Instead, for hg19, UCSC used some random transcript IDs that they seem to have made up themselves. So the exons are ranked within the UCSC transcripts, not the RefSeq transcripts:

> AnnotationDbi::select(Homo.sapiens, keys=keys, columns=c("EXONCHROM","SYMBOL","REFSEQ",
"EXONRANK", "EXONSTART","EXONEND", "EXONSTRAND","TXNAME"), keytype="REFSEQ")

If you want to use RefSeq, you need a different TxDb package

## I did this in steps, but you can do it in one shot using makeTxDbPackageFromUCSC()

I see! Thanks for the information :)

I am trying to implement your code in hg38 succesfully building and using TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.refGene. However I think that the Homo.sapiens package is only supporting hg19, therefore this line here might not be working:

keys="NM_004937"
TxDb(Homo.sapiens) <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg38.refGene

#Extract the relevant information from the database
raw_data <- AnnotationDbi::select(Homo.sapiens, keys=keys, columns=c("EXONCHROM","SYMBOL","REFSEQ",
"EXONRANK", "EXONSTART","EXONEND", "EXONSTRAND","TXNAME"), keytype="REFSEQ")

TXNAME and REFSEQ do not coincide for some genes (like "CTNS"). Is there a way to use Homo.sapiens in hg38?

I found a solution using biomaRt library, however I would like to understand how to make it using TxDb

The main issue here is that you are using select, which is a valid thing to do, but if you have multiple columns you end up getting back more than you might have expected. An alternative is to use <del>transcriptsBy</del> exonsBy instead.

> z <- exonsBy(Homo.sapiens, "tx", use.names = TRUE)
