Dear all,

I want to do counting of my data set and I do like to count the number of reads aligned to the gene, UTR and sRNA at the same time. As the --type argument of htseq only accepts one feature at a time, is there a way that I can count these features together.

And if this is not possible with htseq, which other software do you suggest to perform this type of counting.

Thanks a lot in advance, Best

Not sure about htseq, but featureCounts (subread package) accepts a custom annotation format (SAF, check their manual). You could make a custom reference, including all the features you want, and then simply quantify against that.

Then how the command would look like?

Tried anything yet? Spoon-feeding will not help you improve yourself.
