in reply to How can one retrieve the transcript, 5 prime and 3 prime UTR of an Ensembl identifier?

Perlmonks are not biologists, so explain:

transcript

prime

5 prime and 3 prime

UTR

Ensembl

Or perhaps have a look here: http://rest.ensembl.org/

    Hi erix,

    I am sorry for not mentioning the full terms in my post.

    Transcript is the mature RNA sequence that encodes a protein. Transcript is produced from DNA by the process of transcription. It starts with ATG and usually ends with TAA, TAG or TGA.

    5 prime UTR (5' UTR) stands for untranslated region found in primary mRNA or pre-mRNA at one end of DNA strand with a phosphate group. It is a sequence of nucleotides.

    3 prime UTR (3' UTR) means a sequence of nucleotides which is untranslated and found at the other end of a transcript with a hydroxyl group (OH).

    Ensembl is a database of DNA, RNA and protein and freely available at http://www.ensembl.org/index.html

    With regards,
