Hello everyone, I am looking for Human protein-coding transcript sequences WITHOUT UTRs in fasta format if possible.. any Idea where to find such file?

Best, TA

You should be able to get them from BioMart at Ensembl. Video tutorial available for BioMart.

  1. Get gtf with all annotations (for all coding genes)
  2. Chuck 3' and 5' UTRs out from gtf
  3. use tools such as getFasta to get protein coding transcript sequences.

Simply greping or awking for 'CDS' as the feature in the GTF, followed by bedtools getfasta on the resulting coordinates does the job.
