GTF / GFF3 files

Content	Regions	Description	Download
Comprehensive gene annotation	CHR	It contains the comprehensive gene annotation originally created on the GRCh38 reference chromosomes, mapped to the GRCh37 primary assembly with gencode-backmap Note that automated annotation ('ENSEMBL') was not mapped to GRCh37 in this release. The corresponding annotation was obtained from GENCODE 19 Also note that some manually annotated ('HAVANA') genes did not map properly to GRCh37. Their annotation was copied from GENCODE 19 if available, or they are completely absent otherwise. The gene annotation mapping summary can be found here	GTF GFF3
Basic gene annotation	CHR	It contains the basic gene annotation on the reference chromosomes only This is a subset of the corresponding comprehensive annotation, including only those transcripts tagged as 'basic' in every gene This is the main annotation file for most users	GTF GFF3
Long non-coding RNA gene annotation	CHR	It contains the comprehensive gene annotation of lncRNA genes on the reference chromosomes	GTF GFF3
