Hi,
These questions may seem basic but I never saw them mentioned during my classes:
When I look at a genome annotation I see some fragments: chrUn_GL456239
, chr1_GL456210_random
, chr4_JH584295_random
, chr5_GL456354_random
. What are they exactly? I used the command cut -f 1 mm10.gtf | uniq
to get them, using the mouse genome Ensembl annotation.
Second question: I have never seen any annotation of mitochondrial DNA. Where could I find it? Does sequencing or RNASeq include this data? How to cope with the fact that it has a circular form?
