coverage RNAseq
I would like to determine the coverage of mapped reads in exons, introns and intergenic regions.
Are there tools that could help me?
Thanks

Do you have access to any commercial programs? ParTek will generate such a summary report, after indexing to Refseq, Ensembl or AceView transcripts (or a custom annotation that you create).
You should also be able to do this with bedtools and you could use UCSC Genome Table Browser to get the appropriate regions as BED files. If you select, for example, "knownGene" and give your output a file name, then click "get output" you will go to a screen where you can select exons, introns, and so forth.
bedtools includes a "coverageBed" tool (compare one BED file of reads to another you've created from the UCSC Table Browser) and "complementBed" could be used to get the intergenic regions.
I've not used bedtools for this though, since I have a Partek license, I went with that.Michael Black, Ph.D.

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
