Show only Exons in Gencode annotation #20

Closed josiahseaman closed 6 years ago

josiahseaman commented 8 years ago

There's a lot of redundant and extraneous annotations in the Gencode GTF we use. Since there's very little space allocated for annotations in DDV view, strip out everything that isn't absolutely necessary. In this case, we just want the exon annotations. Remove "Gene", CDS, start, stop, etc.

Even in exons, there will be overlapping annotations from the same gene. You may want to join these together or take the union of their lengths. Basically, strip out as much as possible so that you're showing blank lines in an line that doesn't contain a full exon.

You may find the contents of the 'Annotations/scripts' folder useful for this.
