Chromosome Location (chrX:123456) to Genomic Feature (Exon/Intron/UTR)

Hi Guys,

As an example: chr11:96815339

I want to find out where this site in the gene is: Exon/Intron/UTR. How can I do this?

Of course, I can use UCSC Genome Browser for a site. But if I have a huge RNA-Seq data set with these sites and I want the information of their location, how can I automate this? Any tools that you could suggest? Idea is to get a distribution of all the called locations and map them to their genic location.

Thanks,

Utkarsh

Homer annotatePeaks.pl. See the section "Genomic Annotation"

Here the peak could be simply chr11 96815339 96815340

Check whether homer is based on 0 or 1 based coordinates and use the coordinates appropriately, either chr11 96815339 96815340 or chr11 96815338 96815339

Many RNA-Seq analysis pipelines use BioConductor packages (eg DESeq2/EdgeR) so unless you're doing your lookup on a per-read bases, I would recommend starting there. The following link gives a good overview of BioConductor annotation workflows:
