-
Extract gene length based on featureCount calculation gene nonredundant exon length method.
-
If you want to calculate TPM/FPKM/RPKM to visualize results and for other downstream analysis with only count matrix, you can use this GetGeneLength function to get gene length information and get normalized values.
$ pip install GetGeneLength
help infomation:
$ GetGeneLength -h
usage: GetGeneLength --database ensembl --gtffile gencode.v38.annotation_human.gtf --lengthfile gene_length.txt
Get gene length from GTF annotation file.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
-d {ucsc,ensembl,gencode}, --database {ucsc,ensembl,gencode}
which annotation database you choose. (default="ensembl")
-g GTFFILE, --gtffile GTFFILE
input your GTF file. (ucsc/ensembl/gencode)
-l LENGTH_INFO, --lengthfile LENGTH_INFO
output your gene lenth file. (gene_length.txt)
