    summarizeOverlaps vs countOverlaps

    Dear All,

    I am getting completely different results for the count of mapped reads on transcript features using the countOverlaps and summarizeOverlaps.

    CountOverlaps on using a gappedAlignment and Granges object gives slightly different results. SummarizeOverlaps gives totally different results for the modes "Union" and "intersectionNotEmpty".

    Can someone please let me know where I am making a mistake. I have attached a screenshot of the transcripts. All the transcripts belong to the same gene.

    Following steps were performed by me on a small subset of my data

    1. I built a gapped alignment object of mapped reads using the command
    reads=readBamGappedAlignments("path / to / bam/sorted.bam")

    2. From the gapped alignment I built a genomic ranges object
    ranges=GRanges(seqnames=rname(reads),
    ranges=IRanges(start=start(reads),
    end=end(reads)),strand=rep("*",length(reads)))

    3. I built a genomic ranges list from a custom genedb object (4 transcripts).
    geneE=exonsBy(genedb,'gene')

    4. Used the count and summarize overlaps functions
    a). count1=countOverlaps(geneE, reads)
    b). count2=countOverlaps(geneE, ranges)
    c). count3=assays(summarizeOverlaps(geneE, reads,
    mode="UNION"))$counts[,1]
    c). count4=assays(summarizeOverlaps(geneE, reads,
    mode="intersectionNotEmpty"))$counts[,1]

    5. I get four different count results
    "T1, T2, T3, T4"
    a). count1 "55972, 41029, 18270, 18734"
    b). count2 "55989, 41046, 18287, 18751"
    c). count3 "0, 2, 0, 1092"
    d). count4 "0, 3712, 0, 2550"

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

    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
