[ensembl-dev] Transcript length(bp) and transcript length(aa)

[Stephen Trevanion]

Dear Enrico,

Hopefully Amonida's reply has answered your query. With respect to the 
specific Vega transcript you asked about, the majority of the difference 
you see is due to the long 3' UTR in the final exon (OTTHUME00001751272)

Regards,

Steve
