Hi!
I have a list of ensembl transcript and protein IDs and I want to find the coordinates of the protein domains of these proteins. Is there a tool which allows me to find this information given the protein or transcript IDs as an input? My ultimate goal is to find if the exons that I am studying are part of a domain and I was planning to do that by transform the exon genomic coordinates into protein coordinates and then use findOverlap
in GenomicFeatures (bioconductor) between exon protein coordinates and domain protein coordinates. This is probably a stupid question, but I research and I couldn't find a solution.
I know that I can see the domain coordinates in BioMart looking at each protein in the browser but is there a way to just download these information for an entire list of protein IDs? I think that using Perl API is possible to do so, but I find the relative documentation really difficult to understand, therefore I would like to avoid using Perl API.
I would also like to find if exons which are not part of a protein domain are associated to regulatory functions, basically using the same approach described above.
P.S. I'd prefer to avoid using UCSC
Thanks in advance!
