yes, right, gtf file contains both
Hi,
How I can get a list of gene or transcript IDs and their length in Saccharomyces cerevisiae please?
Thank you

A: Converting gtf format to bed format
If you have GTF file from gencode, above mentioned shell script should work in both gene level and transcript level.
with featurecounts using bam and gtf file we can get the all of gene IDs and the length but i should select coding genes among them
In R using Bioconductor this should work (for ENSEMBL genes):
> library(GenomicAlignments)
> library(TxDb.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3.ensGene)
> txdb = TxDb.Scerevisiae.UCSC.sacCer3.ensGene
> txlen = transcriptLengths(txdb, with.utr5_len=TRUE, with.utr3_len=TRUE)
> head(txlen)
From ENSEMBL
ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-83/fasta/saccharomyces_cerevisiae/cds/
From NCBI - RefSeq
paste "Saccharomyces cerevisiae"[porgn:__txid4932] in NCBI browser. Select mRNA and RefSeq for list of genes from the left side menu.
Below the search bar, click Send to, Choose destination: File, Format as: Fasta
Sequences length - You can get sequences length using a AWK oneliner:
awk '/^>/ {if (sqlen){print sqlen}; print ;sqlen=0;next; } { sqlen = sqlen +length($0)}END{print sqlen}' file.fa
thank you very much,
I need transcript or gene IDs and the length and I don't need the fasta sequence of them
something like below I need
genesID geneslength
R0010W 1272
R0020C 1122
R0030W 546
R0040C 891
YAL069W 315
but NCBI-refseq only has 8 IDs
Check this screenshot of what I see in NCBI gene list for Saccharomyces cerevisiae -

Once you download
awk '/^>/ {if (sqlen){print sqlen}; print ;sqlen=0;next; } { sqlen = sqlen +length($0)}END{print sqlen}' filename.fa | paste - -
thank you for paying attention,
I mapped my reads on cdna instead of genome fasta with bowtie2 then I need something like all of coding sequend IDs and their length
what I got with your kindly tip is like below
