Hi Frederic Lepretre i used this command line in ubuntu and what it gives me, is list of coding sequences and their start and end position. Now in order to find the base pairs, Do I have to minus(subtract) their start and end position for each gene?
the line I'send you should have give you the number of bases by chromosome.
but since you van all positions of all genes, it should be easy to extract length by gene and get the total CDS length. just redirect the results in a file instead of having them on screen.
