The shared nmdEscCollapsed.as keeps its generic wording for the Gencode and RefSeq subtracks, where the "transcripts" column holds different accession families and a single hard-coded label would not fit both. diff --git src/hg/makeDb/doc/hg38/nmd.txt src/hg/makeDb/doc/hg38/nmd.txt index 691e42ca0f7..f7f5d65e39c 100644 --- src/hg/makeDb/doc/hg38/nmd.txt +++ src/hg/makeDb/doc/hg38/nmd.txt @@ -1,151 +1,155 @@ ####################################################################### # NMD escape regions from Gencode (2025-03-24 max/Claude) # Two outputs: decorator bigBed (per-transcript) and collapsed bigBed (merged by coordinates) # Collapsed version uses gene symbols from input, colors by rule, transcript lists # Script accepts -f bigGenePred (gencode .bb) or -f genePredExt (ncbiRefSeq .txt.gz) # # 2026-04-20 lrnassar: Added Rule 4 (long-exon rule, Lindeboom 2016) - coding # exons >400 nt excluding the last coding exon.

A # transcript like NBDY (last junction 2.6 kb past the # stop, in 3'UTR) gets 50 bp of CDS painted, matching # the literal "last 50 bp" reading of the rule label. # mrna - count mRNA nucleotides including 3'UTR, then clip # output to CDS. NBDY-like transcripts get nothing # painted because the 50 mRNA-bp window stays inside # 3'UTR.
