examining mRNA complexity by annotation region using MapReduce
I became interested in how annotated mRNA regions (e.g., 5′ UTR, coding, and 3′ UTR) vary in information content, speculating that coding regions (CDS) of transcripts will be generally more complex than other regions due to their role in specifying protein recipes. Measuring sequence complexity using Shannon entropy validated this hypothesis, at least with regard […]
