Quick question: is there out there a .bed (or similar) files that span over all coding regions in hg38 coordinates? I need to analyze some WGS samples

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

You could download the hg38 GTF file from GENCODE and extract relevant columns and records from it.

For the future bioinformaticians who land on this page: Please note that the release 35 in no more the latest release. So you may want to update the link to the gtf.gz file in the script above. You can find out the latest release by inspecting: http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/gencode/Gencode_human/. For example, the current release (as of May 2022) is release 40, thus the link is: http://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/gencode/Gencode_human/release_40/gencode.v40.annotation.gtf.gz.
By the way, the coordinates are on the human reference genome: hg38 (i.e.GRCh38).

thanks so much, I was wondering, what are the regions that are filtered out between line 2 and line 3? (regions that are flagged as protein_coding but not exons?

You should download and take a look at the GTF file. Explore it so you understand what the above command does with real data.

I did and de-piped command, mine was more a theoretical question

Right, then what are the unique values you see in $3 when transcript_type is protein_coding? That should tell you what non-exonic regions in protein coding transcripts are.

Don't the exon entries contain non-coding UTRs?

Thank you for this. Can I ask, what is the best method to filter/extract only variants that appear in the exome (i.e. in the generated .bed file) from an annotated WGS vcf?

unrelated to the original question.

Apologies, I thought it was related as I imagined this is exactly what @cocchi.e89 was trying to do with the .bed file he was requesting.

Hi, why subtracting 1 from the start position? Thanks!
