    coveragebed output result problem

    Hi,

    I'm running coveragebed to calculate the number of read count in each transcript of tophat alignment result by using the following command:
    Code:
    /bedtool/arq5x-bedtools-26a87ab/bin/coverageBed -abam accepted_hits.bam -b transcripts.bed > transcripts.cov.txt 
    cat transcripts.cov.txt
    gi|224589800|ref|NC_000001.10|  8378168 8404227 "ENSG00000162426"       [B]70      1059    26059   0.0406386[/B]
    Does anybody knows what is the 70, 1059, 26059, 0.0406386 represent?
    I know that 0.0406386 is obtained from 1059/26059.
    Is it 1059 refer to total number of read aligned to the transcript and 26059 represent the transcript length? How about 70?
    Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
    Thanks for any advice.

    If you type "coverageBed -h", the last few lines describe the output format.

    Code:
    Default Output:  
    	 After each entry in B, reports: 
    	   1) The number of features in A that overlapped the B interval.
    	   2) The number of bases in B that had non-zero coverage.
    	   3) The length of the entry in B.
    	   4) The fraction of bases in B that had non-zero coverage.

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2



        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
