    wig file generated by MACS doesn`t fit input sam

    HI:
    I use MACS to do my peak calling and visualize my results by uploading wig file to UCSC. when I check reads distributution I find a bizarre thing:

    below is part of wig generated by MACS:
    track type=wiggle_0 name="treated_cells_treat_chr7" description="Shifted Merged MACS tag counts for every 10 bp"
    variableStep chrom=chr7 span=10
    34041 1
    34051 1
    34061 1
    34071 1
    34081 1
    34091 1
    34101 1
    .......

    and below is part of sam from bowtie and set to MACS to generate wig above:
    HWUSI-EAS455_0024_FC62N0TAAXX:4:51:4046:9759#0/1 0 chr7 34040 255 38M * 0 0 ATCCCCCAAAGCCTGATAGAGAGAAGATGCTCATTAAT IIHIIIIIIIIGIIIIIIIHHEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII XA:i:0 MD:Z:38 NM:i:0

    you can see in sam file there is only one read mapping to position 340XX (I sort my sam file), and on wig file there are too many reads mapping to 340XX which can`t explain by reads shift.

    can you help me? thanks

    The wig will show the overlap of the shifted extended read for every 10th base, so there is nothing wrong with your file.

      Thank you for your replying Chipper
      but I don`t understand you very well.
      in the wig file there is one read located on the each bin of 34041, 34051, 34061.....
      and there is only one read in sam which can be mapped to this region even after shifting that is 34040. My question is how do the other reads come from on wig file.
      and what do you mean by overlap?

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

        We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
