PROPERTIES
- gene_ID : the gene identifier
- strand : + (forward strand) or - (reverse strand)
- type : always exon
- chr-exon-start : The "chromosomal start position of exon" refers to the specific location on a chromosome where an exon (a coding region of a gene) begins maximum inclusive wise exon-segment that compose a cds)
- chr-exon-end : The "chromosomal end position of exon" refers to the specific location on a chromosome where an exon (a coding region of a gene) ends
- chr-gene-start : The "chromosomal start position of gene" refers to the specific location on a chromosome where a gene begins
- chr-gene-end : The "chromosomal end position of gene" refers to the specific location on a chromosome where a gene ends
The "maximum inclusive exon-segment that composes a CDS" refers to the longest contiguous sequence of exons that together form a complete coding sequence (CDS) for a gene. This segment includes all exons that are transcribed and translated into a functional protein product.
